I bought this cable after having bad results with afew much cheaper ones i had tried. Using this cable with my (better) electric guitar,i could tell a big difference in clarity and sound. Its amazing how a quality cable can make something good sound great. When using it with my (cheaper) electric guitar, i couldn't notice much difference over using an inexpensive cable. The cable itself is well made. If i can get afew years use out of it i will be satisfied. To me, if you have a quality guitar and amp, this cable is worth getting.
