A couple of months ago I was sent a couple of cables by Smart Cable that are exclusive to http://www.stringsdirect.co.uk, these cables are handmade with soldered high-quality Neutrik PX Series 1/4″ straight and Neutrik Silent NP2X-AU-SILENT jacks. Neutrik jacks are very high quality and includes a rubber overlay on the straight housing for the best shock-protection and reliability. The cables also include hermetically sealed switching contacts, I guess this airtight seal makes sure that they cannot oxidize and fail over time.
The right angled version of the cable is perfect for guitarists who want to hook their cable through their strap to ensure it doesn’t get pulled out of the socket whilst playing. I know it makes no difference to the tone but I do like these red Neutrik jacks.
As I said before Smart Cable is exclusive to StringsDirect.co.uk so head over to their website to check out pricing, if you are in the UK you get free shipping too. The cables range from £19.75 to £29.75 depending on the length and type of cable.
