This Fender 10' red guitar lead is stylish and relatively noise-free. I have had no real issues with mine, but do want to note my one reservation about the cable: the end connectors come loose rather easily, and I strongly recommend that you check that they're tight before playing. Though few professionals would choose this cable, it's totally adequate for my purposes practicing at home with a small amp. For the cost the looks can't be beat and it does come with a limited lifetime warrantee from Fender.
