I did a ton of homework looking for a good quality cable that wasn't going to break the bank and took a chance on this one. I couldn't possibly be more happy. I've owned a ton of different guitar cables in my 30 years of playing and have come to the conclusion that the super expensive cables are 20% real quality and 80% hype. This cable has increased that opinion in that it is probably half the price of the boutique versions and pretty damn close in terms of quality, sound, and asthetics.\n\nAnyway, this was my first GLS cable and based on this purchase have since bought five more (including a couple of patch cables). So far they have all been rock solid. Additionally, GLS was one of those companies that reached out to me to ask about my purchase. Always a good sign when the company cares that much.\n\nI highly, highly recommend this cable or anything else by this seller."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2016', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'A cable - not the coolest piece of gear I\'ve got hanging around the house; the dbx compressor, the mxr envelope filter or, hey, the Fender American Standard Jazz - the raison d\'être in the pile o\' gear - all probably fit that description more than a simple guitar cable. Cables are something you don\'t think about until they go wrong and everything comes tumbling down. That said, these GLS cables are not merely "stalwart", "rock solid" or "dependable" (though they are all that, in spades), they are actually kind off cool. The hardware at either end are solid and having one right angle is great for instruments, like a Jazz bass, that have a jack on the front face of the instrument. I\'ve found cloth-covered cables tend to kink and tangle far less and these cables are great in that department; the cloth covering is heavy duty and the pattern looks great - like they\'re from the \'50\'s. As someone else mentioned in their review, it keeps bandmates from walking off with your cables too! I definitely buy these again, but I have a feeling I\'m not going to need cables for quite some time.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 5, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-3 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I\'ve purchased four GLS audio instrument cables. Two were 10\' and the other two were 20\'.\n\nPros: Low capacitance means highs are not lost in the cable. EXTREMELY flexible. Shrink wrapped ends. Look great.\nCons: Durability.\n\nOf the four cables I bought, one became noise prone (lots of crackling when moving it) after relatively light use. That was disappointing. Maybe I just got a dud, but it makes me questions the durability of these cables.\n\nThat said, I have Mogami cables as well, and I find that these GLS audio cables are extremely close in their clarity and high-frequency retention to those more pricey Mogami cables. The Mogami cables do sound better to my ears, but only slightly (and "better" is subjective). GLS cables are SO MUCH more flexible than other cables because of the tweed jacket, which makes them so much better to play with if you move around a lot on stage. A tangled, twisted cable has got to be one of the most annoying parts about playing guitar.\n\nOverall, if you\'re a bedroom guitarist, these are truly great cables. If you are a gigging musician who is going to abuse these cables, I would spend the money and buy something else. The tweed jackets on these cables do fray after a while and, after having one of the cables become prone to noise on me, I just wouldn\'t be able to trust them.\n\nWhen you read all the raving reviews on these cables, remember that everyone wants to get something high quality for super cheap and people have to rationalize their purchases to feel good about them. All products have strengths and weaknesses. These are great cables, but, you usually get what you pay for. If these were the holy grail of cables you wouldn\'t be getting them at $1/ft'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 15, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "Really nice to look at, solid, professionally built to last and sounds great. Better than any other brand that I have used in the past. Having that right angle 1/4 inch jack is a life saver. For those who have never use of a 90º 1/4 inch jack like this should try it some time; when a musician owns a guitar that has a 1/4 plug on the front or side of the guitar. this right angle jack will prevent a guitarist from damaging the jack and the plug; or if, a guitarist has an amplifier on stage and there are people walking all around it; well, this the right angle jack will prevent it from being hit, broken or bent. Other than that, this tweed wrap around the cable is very durable; and, because of the color, it it easy to see in dark places; musicians and stage crew won't trip over it. This cable is very well constructed, I am impressed, soldering and insulation is exemplary."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I LOVE THESE CABLES!! First of all, let me say this: my thoughts on instrument cables used to be "Whatever, its a cable...." As I get older, I find even the little things, like the wire that carries your signal to your amps and effects matter, so I started spending ridiculous sums of money on cables, jacks and things like that. Then, I realized: I was buying this stuff to improve little smidgens of sound that I could only hear if I knew to listen for them. I stopped measurebating and started buying cables based on my needs and the value they provide. And, that\'s exactly what these GLS cables do for me: provide an excellent value for the dollars I invest in them. For $13.00, I get a genuine tweed wrapped instrument cable that I can step on, twist up, tie in knots and generally abuse and it just keeps right on trucking. I even ran over one of them (Several times one night) with our rolling amp/effects/mixer rack (something like 500#s loaded up) and, other than the scuff marks, you can\'t tell I ever even took the cable out of the package before that night. As for performance, stop wasting your money on audiphile gear for guitars man, if you need to be in a sound isolated room to hear the difference, I promise your audience doesn\'t have a clue whether you\'re playing this, or a $100 per foot guitar cable. Save your beer money, and buy yourself 2 or 3 of these babies and get back to playing guitar!!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "From tip to tip this is a quality cable. 5/5 Will purchase an exact replacement if, for what ever reason, I need it.\n\nI'll start with construction. The jacks are solid metal with no plastic or rubber spacers like some have and most importantly metal threading on both the straight and ninety degree jack! Beyond that there is an external rubber heat shrink strain relief, internal rubber booty strain relief, AND an internal metal clamp strain relief its like they know I'm going jump around and step on the cable and need it to survive not only the set but indefinitely. This was built with gigging in mind! Well insulated, soft, flexible, and depending on your aesthetic tweed could be called fashionable lol. The only improvement i could think of in any sort would be a bit of thread tape or glue on the jack connectors or something like silicone sealant on the inside for a 4th and 5th stage of protection. Those are both easy DIY and lets be honest, completely unnecessary and over kill. Its a friggin $14 cable (15 or 20 foot, which goes to prove the cost is all in the jacks and connectors which is exactly where you want it.\n\nAs far as the only other thing that matters goes, sound is great. Performs exactly as it should between a guitar with either active or passive pickups right into my head or pedal board. It is extremely low Picofarad compared to other cables in the price range or more expensive which is important to your sound engineer nerd friend. Lower cable capacitance allows more of the natural “brightness,” “presence,” or “bite” of an instrument to reach the amp, which in turn allows the treble controls to be run lower, reducing hiss and other unwanted noise. It is well shielded and insulated which is important to your layman like myself. Everyone is happy. Everyone except for maybe the guy on his 8th Naturday requesting freebird as you gig at your local dive, but no one likes that guy anyway."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2018', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "I'm not sure how long GLS has been in business, but I know they've been around for quite some time now.\nI have a couple of their cords that are at least 8 years old and I know they've been on the market way before that.\nI originally bought these as gifts for my nephews, who are just beginning guitar and bass lessons.\nI decided to get one more for myself.\nI've never had any problems with my cords, no hum or distortion, the fit has always been tight and solid and the quality of materials has always been fine.\nThis isn't a cable that you're going to use on stage at some big rock concert but it's great for the beginner and the professional playing a local gig at a wedding or on stage at your local pub.\nIf you're getting some kind of hum out of your amp, more than likely you have a grounding problem with your instrument or your amp.\n\nTHE RIGHT ANGLE PLUG WILL NOT SEAT IN RECESSED GUITAR JACKS!

I checked the local guitar store and on line and read many cable reviews thinking that I needed to purchase an expensive cable to get the sound/build quality that I wanted. I learned about GLS Audio Cables while searching on Amazon and was initially attracted to the brand because of the overwhelmingly positive reviews of all of their cables. At $12.99 for the 15’ - 1/4 Inch TS to 1/4 Inch TS Brown Yellow Tweed Cloth Jacket cable I figured what did I have to loose, and when it arrived I was certainly not disappointed.\n\nThe first thing you notice when you receive the cable is the quality and care that went into its construction. From the fabric jacket, to the cord wraps that come with it, it presents itself as top quality and it looks great with my Yamaha FGX800C! When you unwrap the cord for the first time you will find that it does not want to tangle and when you roll it back up the cord wraps are really handy.\n\nI feel that the sound quality/clarity is very good, with no unwanted interference or distortion from the cable. I think that’s because the quality of the cable itself as well as the jack ends is much higher than expected for a cable in this price range.\n\nFinally, I was very impressed that GLS reached out to me to ask about my purchase. I think it’s great when a company cares that much about its customers and I feel that it also reflects on the quality of their products.\n\nI highly recommend this cable!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "This cable had the angled and reinforced connectors that I wanted.
