Why buy a guitar cable mass-produced in an offshore sweatshop when you can buy one for the same price that's beautifully handmade in the USA from the world's finest materials? Buy directly from the manufacturer, and $AVE. No middle men; no high-cost packaging that does NOTHING to improve product quality; no race-car drivers paid millions to wear our logo. You get what really matters: A meticulously crafted guitar cable for substantially less money.
You have a 1957 all-original hand-wired Strat and a great hand-wired tube amp. What do you use to connect the two? Don't trust the most critical part of your signal path to a cheesy mass-produced cable, made with $1 jacks and $2 worth of bulk cable. Entirely handmade! Only the finest materials Our guitar cables have perfectly soldered connections, with any exposed wire always tinned and then hand-insulated — THREE layers in the straight plugs (see photos to left). The middle layer is heat-shrink tubing, making wire shifting and shorts next to impossible. We flow solder backwards under the cable insulation to prevent furring. We consider solder type to be crucial to the unique full-frequency throughput of our cables — so crucial that we consider the exact type and composition of the solder proprietary. Rest assured though that our unique solder blend is of the highest quality, designed to maintain signal clarity and the strongest possible bond between wire and plug. Not just for guitars SOLID copper cores Except for silver (too expensive for most people), copper is the best conductor PERIOD. Nothing else even comes close — not steel, brass, chrome-plated steel or some gold-plated "secret" alloy. Not even SOLID gold. Face it: The whole point of a 1/4" TS plug is to conduct electricity in the most efficient way possible. Other plugs may look cool or have ingenious wire-locking schemes, but they don't have solid-copper cores — so they don't conduct electricity as well. Takes a licking and keeps on ticking CBI Custom 20 AWG cable is state-of-the-art No? Didn't think so. That's why we use CBI Custom Cable. Just under the main insulation, it has a main conductive shield of stranded pure copper wire. For the hot center wire, a full #20 AWG of pure copper carries the signal with minimal loss, not the wimpy 24 or 26 AWG that some other cables have. Of But here's where CBI leaves the others behind: It has a semi-conductive layer between the hot wire's jacket and the spiral wrapped copper shield to virtually eliminate microphonics and extraneous noise. See, guitar pickups are coils of wire driven by a tiny TINY amount of electricity. When you introduce the same tiny signal into a cable filled with wire, you basically create another pickup! Kills microphonics and extraneous noise dead The semi-conductive layer in the CBI cable prevents both extraneous noise and microphonics. Without it, the noise of someone dancing on the floor near your cable can be as loud as your guitar signal. But with this special layer of insulation, your cable is absolutely dead quiet. So quiet that many customers mistakenly think their new cable is dead when they first plug it into an amp or mixing board. We twist it so you can hear the twang! We fold over a hefty twisted length of shield wire and solder that to the ground lug under the cable. So, the harder you pull on the guitar cable, the more you pull on the ground lug, not on the lug cable clips. We slightly notch the outer cable insulation by hand, so the ground wire is pulled back inside the insulation, a real pain to do, but it adds years to the guitar cable's life because the wire "hairs" can't escape the insulation to cause a short. Lastly, we inspect EVERY finished cable with magnification to detect any furring. If furring is detected, we cut the plug off and redo the plug assembly.

How quickly can Lifetime guaranteed Another customer drove the 350 miles to Mammoth Mountain, Calif., with five feet of the cable hanging out the door and dragging on the pavement for the entire trip. That is not normal use. Money-back guarantee Which plug is best for my guitar, straight or right angle?
In guitars where the jack is on the front of the guitar (as opposed to the guitar's edge like a Les Paul), it's usually best to use an angle plug, especially in the Gibson electric hollow bodies and the Burns London guitars. As you can see from some of the Burns London guitars pictured to the left, a straight jack sticks out of the plastic pickguard, just begging to be whacked hard by a hand or an errant bar-stool edge. A good whack and you've done busted your pickguard, a costly bit to replace. Worse yet are the Gibson semi-hollow bodies. Whack a straight plug sticking out of one of those, and you risk cracking the whole body of the guitar. We've seen it done, and it ends up pretty much being the end of the guitar. (For a complete list of which plug works with what guitar, see the list way at the end of this ad.) Buyers outside the U.S. The ebay estimate on international shipping is often incorrect.

course, the center core is stranded — not solid — for less signal loss. It has a full 2.7 mm of high-grade polyethylene insulation separating the hot center from the shield.
