The outer layer of the cable seems durable and well protected. The length (25 ft.) is perfect to move around freely on stage.

It seems a lot cheaper than cables by other companies like Fender but after using a Fender California Cable and this C.B.I. the only difference I can point out would be the price.

Great cables at a great price

Yea, I feel that for the price, these cables are comparable with many others that cost much, much more. I have used many different cables over the years and I feel that sometimes the cost for so-called "high end" or "boutique" cables just don't make sense. CBI offers a well-handling, durable and well-shielded cable that I feel will last many years of use at a very affordable price. They also have very good customer service that will take time to answer all your questions. Good to find a company that is there for their customers if needed.

The outer jacket seems durable, yet offers good handling characteristics. Lays flat and doesn't kink and twist, which is important to me. Also have tested the shielding and haven't had any issues with noise at all.

Plug and play... just make sure to check the tightness of the plug barrels, as they come loose sometimes with handling.

This cord has bought out the tone in my guitar like no other cord I've ever used before. For the last year or so, I've been using a Fender California Cable which I bought from here and, this CBI blows it away.

These cables appear to be bullet-proof. They are quality grade cable, solid connectors, and all of the soldering is solid.
My only gripe (and the reason I took a star off of Ease of Use... the cable is very stiff. Barely a reason to deduct a star, but they aren't very flexible and I can see how this could be an issue for some people.
That said, I will still continue to buy CBI cables.

These are deceiving. They look like, and are priced like, budget cables. They are NOT!

These cables use high quality components and they appear hand soldered. There is heat shrink applied for strain relief and insulation under the plug barrels.

I have other, "branded" cables (@ 2-3 X the price!) that don't sound as good as the CBI cables. They transmit the full, true sound of your guitar down the chain to your amp. GET THESE! You won't regret it a bit!

Like sending your guitar to the tone gym.

The quality is outstanding for the little money you have to dish out for these things. They have a 10 year warranty if that says anything just take care of them like you should and they will last. If you are using the cheap cables that come with some amps and guitars or even a good quality 24 gauge cable you will notice a drastic change in tonal quality with these 20gauge cables. It is like sending your guitar to the gym it strengthens your tone and produces a high quality well rounded tone from lows to highs. I cant stress enough to people how important it is to have good cables for your rig. You can have a low budget rig or the top of the line and good cables will make the difference. Bad cables can make even the highest quality guitar sound cheep.

The nice features are Neutrik connectors and heat shrink on the cables into the connectors that make for a good strain relief and keeps your cable from kinking at the connectors. And they have two layers of shielding so no unwanted noise are coming through these baby's.
