Description
This is a retro style guitar lead (US: guitar cable) built for instruments, audio gear and any unbalanced signal path. The outer is covered in a nylon braid that resists tangling while adding a layer of protection for the cable inside, and the black and white colourway gives it a classic look on stage or in the studio. It measures 6.0m end to end, which suits most set-ups where you need a bit of distance between your instrument and amp.
Inside the braid you get pure copper conductors made from 13 strands at 0.12mm each, with cotton reinforcement to help the cable hold up to repeated coiling and gigging. The jacket is a soft-grip rubberised material that keeps its shape and stays easy to handle. Connections are machine-soldered to the two professional die-cast 6.3mm mono jack plugs, so you get a solid, repeatable termination at each end. The cable diameter is 6.6mm, giving it a bit of weight and body without feeling stiff.
The lead comes as a straight-to-straight jack, with a 6.3mm mono plug at both ends. If 6.0m is more than you need, the same lead is offered in a 3.0m length, and the retro braid comes in a range of colour options so you can match the rest of your kit. It handles guitar, bass, keyboard and general line-level duties equally well, making it a dependable choice whether you play at home or out at venues.
