I bought this cable because I couldn't find any of my old cables. The 90 degree guitar jack is always a plus, and the tweed jacket is timeless. It doesn't twist or tangle nearly as much as most cables, and for the price, you really can't beat it. I've been playing through this cable now for several months with no issues whatsoever. I highly recommend it - you're not going to find another 18ft guitar cable of this quality for less than $20.
