The guitar cable of choice among those who know the difference is <b>Mogami W2524</b>. And the cost is suprisingly affordable allowing you to employ the same cable used by the best live acts and recording studios in the world.</p><p>Most musical instrument sound pick-ups such as those in electric guitars are comprised of high impedance circuits driven by voltage, in other words by very small electrical current flow. Therefore, so-called MICROPHONICS, noise generated when the cable is moved and/or tapped when the cabling circuit is a high impedance link, becomes a critical problem. Mogami 2524 cable is counter-measured against this with a conductive PVC layer placed under the shield conductor to drain away this voltage.</p><p><strong>Note:</strong> This conductive layer must be stripped back when wiring, or a partial short will result.</p>
