So far I like them, although I've only been using them for 2 weeks. My objection to them is that they stick WAY out from the guitar, not a problem with my tele, but it is a bit of an issue with my strat, and I don't even think about using them with my SG. Much more flexible than the Monster cables I have, and as far as my ear can tell no difference in sound.

I really liked the look ad feel of this cable, but mine lasted less than six months, which to me isn't very long, before it broke.. :? I might have gotten a faulty one but I dunno really. I still have it tucked away in a drawer to use as a spare..

I have 2 of these - a 10' and a 18' foot. I use them in my house - no gigging. I've had them for about a year - no issues with them.

They seem well built and to my ear at least, noiseless, ie, when I move around I don't get noise spikes or any other extraneous noise introduced into the signal train.

YMMV.

I personally don't like the look - I prefer a sleeker looking cable. Who would have thought we could be so particular about something that to an ordinary person wouldn't matter, next to a guitar and and amp for sounds. Needless to say I've bought LOADS of cables in the past, just to get to the right one :)

I have 2 califonia cables and 1 vintage voltage, the first california I bought has like 4-5 years and still works fine, the other two are a bit younger but I have no complains, the vintage voltage howver is far better,sounds better and it´s far more flexible,plus it looks great!
