Every electric guitar player has experienced his or her fair share of cheap and easily broken down guitar cables. No matter how many times we're reminded that, "we get what we pay for", we like sheep, head to that same discount bin of 'soon to be useless' cables at our local music store.
So, many many years ago I decided to stop the cycle of 'waste and frustration' by purchasing professional quality cables for every connection in my guitar rig, home studio and home theatre. The result was happily true to the labelled 'lifetime warranty' on the majority of professional cable packages. In 30 years of plugging in and out I have only had one cable issue that was immediately remedied by the fine folks at Fender. So the lesson for the day is:
Don't buy cheap cables!
Here's a list some brands that you can look for quality cable that will last and produce good overall tone reproduction. Planet Waves, Monster, George L's, Spectraflex, Elixir, and Whirlwind.
Free yourself of the worries of cable problems and embrace the high fidelity of professional quality cables and connectors... and always remember:
Don't buy cheap cables!
