I used to leave an insane number of perfectly good instrument cables at various venues around the world. There – it’s out there now. Over the past year, I’ve finally decided to take action (and avoid spending more and more money) by buying instrument cables in different colors instead of the standard black ones.
The result? Even if I’m busy packing up after a show and somehow forget my cable, someone else usually notices it thanks to its distinct color – and Fender’s Professional Series Tweed instrument cables fit the bill.
Aside from its vibrant color, what I appreciate most about this cable is its excellent sound transfer. With 95% OFC spiral shielding, it minimizes unwanted noise and interference, ensuring my guitar tone comes through loud and clear.
This quality is further enhanced by the braided exterior, which makes these cables far more durable than their PVC-covered counterparts. The harder exterior ensures they’re reliable and long-lasting – perfect for booked-and-busy working musicians.
The cable’s wide gauge (22 AWG) improves connectivity and longevity, while the nickel-plated connectors hold up well under regular use and abuse, offering a firm and stable connection. While gold-plated connectors are technically superior, these nickel-plated ones perform admirably even with the wear and tear of regular gigging.
Although the Fender Professional Series Tweed Instrument Cable is available in multiple lengths (10′, 15′, 18.6′, and 25′) and other colors (Gray Tweed, Red Tweed, and White Tweed), the Daphne Blue Tweed variant is the one on sale right now. The 10-foot cable is priced at just $12.99, while the 15-foot option is available for $16.99 – prices that are hard to beat for the quality you’re getting.
In fact, I might just be adding another cable or two right to my cart right now…
