    guitar cables

    Every guitar cable that I use at some point just goes dead, it’s not a steady decrease in sound quality, just at some point it goes from 100% sound to nothing. I guess the cable breaks somewhere internally due to moving it around all the time. So I was wondering which brand of cables do you...
