This cable disproves the notion that you get what you pay for. It's quality outweighs its price. Let's face it, a cable is a cable is a cable. But the quality of these cables can vary greatly. I replaced a lighter cable with this one and I was surprised at the difference in the quality of the sound from my amp. I have an Ibanez ART series guitar into an Ibanez 15 watt amp set up in my home. With nothing changed but the cable, there was a significant difference in quality and volume. So much so that I checked with my guitar teacher who said he was not surprised. The quality appears good. The ends are heavy duty and the little bit of hum I had due to the proximity of everything was attenuated to the point where it was inconsequential. I've seen more expensive cables and this one is (so far) great.&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Hosa-GTR210-Guitar-Cable-10-Ft/dp/B000068NW5/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Hosa GTR210 Guitar Cable 10 Ft</a>
