Cable with a switch. It doesn't get better than this. I have always hated plugging in the cable to the guitar and all the noise associated with it. Push the switch and no more noise. Also, if the cable gets a short just remove the end (a small screw) cut it past the break, reattach the end tighten the screw and voila you are back in business. No more soldering ends and praying it works. I would rate it 10 stars if I could. I am convinced it has saved it price in cheaper cords.
