Fender Original Series Instrument Cable, Guitar Cable, Guitar Accessories, Straight/Straight, Surf Green, 10ft

There arer so many junk cables out there, that when I find a good one I have to share it. These coiled cables from Fender are absolutely top tier. The connectors are high quality, heavy duty, and well attched. The cable itself is heavy duty, thick, and durable. Having the option of a straight or right angle plug is also a big plus for my needs. First, I prefer a coiled cable after being confined to a wheelchair for some time. The coiled cable stayed out of the way easier, and spent less time under the wheels getting destroyed. This is the main benefit to a good coiled cable. The other benefit is if you have a particularly bright sounding guitar or rig as I do. The extra length and capacitance of these type of cables acts as somewhat of a low pass filter, shaving off some of the harsh high end. If you have a darker setup, this might be undesirable, but with my tele/marshall rig, it's excellent. By using the cable as part of the tone shaping it allows for an easier time dialing in the treble in the effects pedals and amp. In my experience it is better to make small adjustments over the range of your rig than to make one big tweak in a single device like your guitar's tone knob or the drive pedal. If you are considering a coiled cable, get it 3x as long as you need, and usually it will be 30'. there are shorter lengths, but they are often too short to work with, as the relaxed length of a 20' coiled cable might be as short as 6 feet. You don't want to have the cable stretched taught, even though this can be seen in old videos of Jimi Hendrix, it's not good for the cable or your jacks. A 30' cable like this will rest at aboput 10' and easily stretch to 15-20', more than enough. One last thing to bear in mind is the weight. This is a high quality, heavy duty cable that is coiled to 1/3 of it's actuial length, so it is really as heavy as three cables and this is another factor that many do not like, but I am used to it and hardly notice.

Nice color... kind of a deep red. Looks kinda like a fluorescent red, but I don't think it glows, but it perfect. Fender, as always, makes quality cords thatlast. I wrote my name on it 1st thing. This cable has both ends straight with a 1/4" connector. This is perfect for guitars with angled plugs, which Fender has done to mininize stress on cables and plugs (male and female.) *Note: not all guitars have angled plugs. Those that have plugs at a 90° angle from the guitar face you'll want to get a 90° angled cord, instead of this one. Fender makes these, too, and they're available here on Amazon. I love the color! It looks better in person!!! I'll prolly keep this one for playing gigs, as I imagine it'll pickup dirt like every other cable I've owned, to keep it nice for shows, and use black ones for every day. What else an you say? This is a Fender cable, a d Fender makes the best cables for guitars, IMHO. I wondered about the color, but it's perfect, and will help keep cables straight on stage. Thank you, again, Fender!!!

Really enjoy this cable. Sounds good, feels good, looks good.

This is way more heavy than I expected the loops are large, the wire is thick as well. The connector ends seem to be great quality and built well. The color is very cool as well. Some people say that a coiled cable kills your high end. I did not experience this at all, sounds just the same in my opinion, you just look way cooler

If you don't like tripping over guitar cables then this is the one for you. I got tired of my last guitar cable getting hung up and tangled on everything in my studio, so I figured I'd give this one a try. I've always found the coiled fender cables to be pretty cool looking and since I need a new one I figured why not. First thing I noticed is this one doesn't get caught up on stuff like my pedal board, mix stand, other cables and my feet. Second thing I noticed was how overbuilt this cable is. It is very thick, so I'm thinking it should last. Overall for the price and quality, you can't really go wrong.

Great cable! This is a really beefy cable and the jacks have held up well over time with lots of use.

Excellent and quality wire for basses. Wish color was more red than orange

Works great!
