Description
Our Citronic Classic Braided Guitar Lead is a retro-style instrument cable built for guitars, keyboards and other audio gear carrying unbalanced mono signals. It uses a nylon braid over the outer jacket that helps stop the cable tangling and adds a bit of protection to the wiring inside. The braid comes in retro colour options, so you can pick something to suit your kit or your stage look. This version is the grey and gold finish in a 3.0m length.
Inside, the lead is made with pure copper conductors, using a 13-strand, 0.12mm diameter core, along with cotton reinforcement to keep things sturdy. The connections are machine-soldered onto professional die-cast 6.3mm mono jack plugs at both ends, both in the straight format. Around all of this sits a soft-grip, rubberised jacket that is also designed to resist tangling, so the cable stays easy to handle when you are packing down or moving between gigs. The overall cable diameter is 6.6mm.
The lead is available in 3.0m and 6.0m lengths, so you can match the run to your setup, whether you play close to your amp or need a bit more room to move. Note that a 6.3mm jack is the same as a 1/4 inch jack, the term used more often in the US, so this fits standard guitar and instrument inputs either way. It is a straightforward, well-built lead that does the job without any fuss.
