jivetrain,
I must respectfuly disagree. The reason why it does not come up is because it does not make a difference. I don't doubt you heard something different, but it wasn't because your changed the properties of wire in your guitar. There is nothing about the wire in a guitar that can have any effect whatsoever,
unless there was a bad connection of some type.
In a guitar-to-amp cable, the center conductor is in close proximity to ground for a considerable distance, and the cable will add capacitance to the pickup load. The longer the cable, the more capacitance. It will slightly shift the resonance between the pickup's inductance with the cable/amp capacitance.
With 3 decades of electronics engineering behind me, I will be glad to explain why any material properties of internal guitar wiring is completely negligible.
With respect and love,
Terry
