fender california series guitar cable

What do you think, is a good option?

Depends. I don't think you'll have much guff from it in a bedroom, but on a stage, I would go for a higher end cable personally. Also, make sure to match your connections. Gold on gold, nickel on nickel, etc.

I personally use a variety of cables, but my favorite is the Lava coil. It stays out of the way and the tone doesn't sound lost.

Also, maybe go wireless. I did, and I'll try to never go back.

I personally use a vox coil for guitar to pedalboard then a fender tweed from my board to my amp, i hopefully soon will be switching to Lava's for each but like stated before match nickel/nickel and gold/gold and check some reviews if its overall good reviews than go for it

how sensitive are your ears in a blaring band situation? most classic rock music was made with junk cable and no one ever says those iconic guitar heroes sound bad.... on the other hand, yes some cables sound a little better or at least perform differently (I mean, a shitty coily cable was aprt of Hendrix's sound)....

my recommendation is to collect good quality jack ends and buy a couple ayrds of good quality shielded coax cable with good capacitance specs.... just makes your own cables.

unless you need something super durable from guitar to pedalboard or amplifier input or whatever in case you step on it, then get a spectraflex. Decent audio specs and indestructible.... I've had the same one since 1996ish.
