A lot of guitar players just use any guitar cable they could get their hands on. Most buy the cheap thin no brand cables which easily break. Honestly, I was guilty of this before and I could still remember the many times these cheap, crap cables has failed me.
Imagine playing on a gig then suddenly losing your guitar sound in the middle of your solo. Imagine plugging your guitar then all you hear is buzzing and humming. Imagine jamming with your friends and you spending 75% of the time trying to make your guitar cables work. Imagine having to buy guitar cables almost every month. That sucks doesn't it?
I just got tired of all of it and decided to invest on good quality guitar cables. My guitar cable of choice is the Klotz instrument cable. I use Neutrik professional phone plugs with these. I bought these custom made in Audiophile at Robinson's Pioneer Mandaluyong for around 700php($16) for 6 meters.
Some Useful Tips:
a. I strongly suggest you use a right angled(L-type) plug on one end of your guitar cable and a straight plug on the other. You'll never know when you'll need these.
b. Avoid going over 6 meters(20ft.) when buying a guitar cable. The longer the cable the more signal you lose.
I've been using these for 3 years now and it hasn't let me down. So if you're serious about playing music, please use quality guitar cables.
Some of the more popular brands of guitar cables include: Lava Cables, Klotz, Planet Waves, George L's among others.
The Bottom Line: Buying good quality guitar cables will save you a lot of cash and headaches in the long run.
