A Hearty Cable

You might think there isn't much to say about a 1/4" TS or mono cable, and you may be right. Is it Mogami? Belden? Canare? I have no idea. Last I checked, Canare instrument cable is thicker. Does Livewire fabricate their raw cable in-house? I have no idea. Whatever the case, the texture of the jacket is Mogami like, but not necessarily Mogami. So the thickness of the jacket is just enough to be satisfactory to me -- not too thin, and not too thick to be inflexible. I open the Switchcraft-like connector -- but wait! It's Neutrik!!!! I can already tell you that Neutrik is a quality manufacturer of fine connectors for professional use. Btw, I used to be a cable assembly technician. Btw, I used to be a manager for a cable fabrication house. Ok, so I open the 1/4" TS connector, and see that the shrink wrap sleeving is all the way up and over the "tip" solder joint. In the trade of cable building, this is actually considered good practice. Why? so that as you flex the cable repeatedly, the "tip" solder joint does not contact the outer connector housing, thus causing a short or that unpleasant buzz pop crackle dead one might be familiar with. And that's as far as I'm going to go with inspecting the connector. I'm not going to cut open the shrink sleeving to check the soldering -- is it cold and brittle? Did the solder flow nicely? I have no idea. I've already used the cables to my satisfaction, and they are functioning properly. Livewire tends to be my go to cable because they are moderately priced and aesthetically pleasing enough. Also, if I absolutely have to, I suppose I could break out the ol' soldering iron and repair them if needed. But wait, these cables have a Lifetime Guarantee. What does that mean, exactly? I have no idea. But I just called Livewire to ask if these cables are made in the U.S. and the answer is yes. Good enough for me.

It didn't work!

I bought two of those to connect my Boss eq pedal in the loop of my Marshall JCM 2000. It didn't work! Every time I connect one of these cables to the return of my amp I get a very loud humm. I thought it was the amp that was broken, then I tried with two other cables and I did not have any noise. I used the cables to connect some pedals and they worked, so it might be something related to the signal level, impedance or shielding. Not sure what the problem is.

    This is the best cable that I have used, I have used many different types of cables and this one by far is the best, my first cable worked perfect just like the first time I used it after 7 years of used, the only reason I bought another one was because I gave my first one away when I sold my guitar. I hope this helps somebody out.

  • great cable

    My daughter and I are novices with her electric guitar. The General Manager found us the perfect solution and it was comforting to know that she uses the same cable. When she talked, she had instant credibility and I knew that I was making a good decision in my purchase

  • I would buy this product again, and I did!

    Bought this from you at the Winston Salem NC store a while back. Worked like a charm forever, but now shorts out somewhere in the middle of the cable, the ends are just fine. checked Livewire, and they say 100% fully exchangable. Need to know if I bring this cable down to the Winston store, that it will be exchanged for a new working cable. Died at practice and wasn't fun.

    Purchased 2 lifetime warranty Livewire guitar cords. I can't go to the store to exchange them as they're not functioning anymore but due to COVID-19 closure what are my options?
