Canare GS-6 Guitar / Instrument Cable, shown here in the 5 meter length with Canare F-15 1/4" TS Phone Plug. Actual length of the cable offered for sale on this page is 1.1 meter (3.6 foot).
These Canare GS-6 Guitar and Instrument cables are perfect for connecting Guitar/Bass or Keyboards to amps, mixers, effects pedals and all outboard signal processing gear. They are also excellent for Amp Head to Speaker Cabinet leads.
We are offering six different connector options to accommodate a wide range of applications. These cables are sold singly, but of course, you can purchase multiples for stereo or multi-channel hook-ups. Please click to see the wide range of lengths that we have available with blue, black, or red jackets.
Unlike some of the lesser Canare cable assemblies that you may have seen, our version is hand-crafted, using the finest connectors from Canare and Neutrik. We use only fresh cable stock and connectors - no old stock or factory seconds. Our terminations are meticulously installed by our skilled craftsmen, using the best techniques and the finest silver solder.
The Cable
We use Canare GS-6 - Canare's best guitar and instrument cable. This specially designed cable features a center conductor that is comprised of 127 strands of Oxygen Free Copper, for an aggregate AWG of 18, a modified PE dielectric and a proprietary low-noise double shielding system. Canare uses a special process to create a cross-linked polymer compound, resulting in a dielectric material. This low capacitance and low series resistance design ensures superior frequency response to 50 KHz. Sound is faithfully transmitted, even when using HI-Z guitar pick-ups and/or long cables. You get superior signal transmission with the lowest possible noise.
Canare's innovative shielding system utilizes a Conductive Carbon Plastic Shield to protect against undesirable microphonics and handling noise while a high-density secondary stranded Oxygen Free Copper shield controls EMF, further reducing noise. Unlike spirally shielded cables, Canare's braided shield is designed to prevent spreading over time. The braid is made from a large number of thin copper strands for outstanding noise rejection, super flexibility and long flex-life. An attractive smooth satin matte-finished PVC jacket provides protection while preserving flexibility and contributing to the overall impression of high quality.
The Connectors
- Canare F-15
Our standard configuration uses Canare's own F-15 1/4" TS phone plugs. These excellent connectors feature a one-piece body with a pure brass bar that runs the full length of the handle. Canare claims that the design is 50 percent stronger than ordinary plugs and 20 percent stronger than other high-grade plugs. The solid brass handle shuts out static and EM noise. A satin-finished nickel plating provides long-lasting protection and beauty. A spring-type strain-relief prevents cable damage due to repeated bending at the cable entry point, so cables last up to three times longer than with plugs that do not have strain-reliefs. This is the connector that we will install on both ends of your cable if you do not specify otherwise.* - Canare F-09

The Results
When our skilled technicians join this uniquely silent cable to this select offering of premium connectors, the result is a cable that compliments just about any musical style. Some have described the sound as "warm", although the actual measured frequency response is perfect to over 50 KHz, so it may be that some listeners perceive the pure sound and absence of background noise as warmth. It has also been said that these cables compare favorably to George L's and Cardas, but as much as we appreciate the comparison to such well-respected brands, we think you will agree that our cables have their own set of unique advantages...they set some standards of their own. In any case, the unusually noise-free, clear, delightfully open and natural sound is hard to deny and these same characteristics bring the advantage of reduced listener fatigue as an unexpected bonus. Inspired design and the kind of expertise that comes only with time, combine to create cables that bring out the best in your music.

USA Shipping Options
USPS Priority Mail
Air service that provides 1 to 3 day delivery to US addresses. It includes basic tracking information as well as Delivery Confirmation. Saturday delivery is included at no additional charge.
USPS Priority Mail Express
Premium air service that provides overnight delivery to most (but not all) US addresses. Better tracking and faster delivery than Priority Mail. Saturday delivery is included at no additional charge.
USPS First Class Mail
Economy service for items weighing less than 13 ounces and valued at less than $200. This service is typically a day slower than priority mail and since scanning is optional, the tracking is of limited value.
UPS Ground
Economical alternative to mail services, particularly for large/heavy items. Being a ground service, it is not fast unless you happen to be close to our shipping location, but tracking is typically superior to mail services.
UPS 3 Day Select
Guaranteed delivery within 3 business days. Tracking is typically more reliable than mail services.
UPS 2nd Day Day Air
Premium alternative to mail services that provides guaranteed delivery by the end of the second business day. Tracking is typically more reliable than mail services.

International Shipping Options
Priority Mail Express International (EMS)
Our preferred international shipping method for all international shipments because it offers the best tracking as well as the fastest and most dependable delivery.
Priority Mail International
Available for items under $300 in value. Cost is somewhat lower, although delivery is typically slower and tracking is less reliable than PMEI.
First Class Mail International
Economy service for items weighing less than 4 pounds and valued at under $200. This is the least expensive international shipping option, but the savings comes at the expense of tracking - scanning not mandatory, so this service does not provide reliable tracking information, and the post office will not trace delayed or lost packages.
Please refer to the Shipping and payments tab to see the actual services, rates, and transit times available for this item.
Keep in mind that eBay's transit time estimates are from the US Postal Service. The total transit time to your address can be affected by circumstances in your own country, such as delays at your local customs office, or cases where no one is available to receive the delivery.
International customers should be prepared to pay import taxes and/or duties at the time of delivery. In NAFTA member countries, customs duties should be discounted for products that are made in the USA, but taxes may still be collected.
