StaggSGC6VT PK 6 m S-Series Tweed Jack to Jack Instrument Cable - Pink

It's a nice-looking cable with good substantial connections, and seems fine construction-wise (meaning, soldering and finishing within the connectors), but it's terribly bad for handling noise, as is the second cable of this type that I bought at about the same time. With them both being noisy I can only assume this is a feature of these guitar leads.You may be better off if you use these in situations where you aren't wandering around on-stage (take up keyboard playing!), and shorter versions of the same leads might be a bit quieter, but these really behave almost like microphones for thuds and scrapes as they are moved around.Normally I'm positive about Stagg leads, but I really can't be about these particular ones that seem rather high on suckage (an industry term).To make matters worse, the fat plugs might look fancy and solid, but try removing one from guitars with recessed jack sockets, such as an Ibanez SA560, that has a long recess into which the jack plug goes. The plugs are fat enough to be quite hard to get a hold of when you're trying to unplug guitars like those - there's just not the space to fit fingers into the jack recess once the plug is in there. If you end up always hauling out the lead by the cable instead of the plug, things will eventually fail.In summary, I like much of the Stagg range, but these particular instrument leads aren't great, there are many better ones to be had. FYI the quietest commonplace leads I have (decent price and availability), are the Fender tweed cables, although their strain relief isn't the best. I have plainer Stagg cables that are quieter, as well as Kenable and Rocket, both also better.

I seem to be a bit hit or miss with guitar cables. Naturally, I don't want to fork out a silly amount for a lead, just in case it turns out to be a rip off but there obviously has to be a limit with being cheap and going with the most basic product possible. It seems with the Stagg 20ft. S-Series, I have hit the perfect affordable product for use with my guitar.I'm not exactly a pro when it comes to guitars. I play mines at home to waste time and don't really know the ins and outs of these sort of things. But the product I bought appears to be very well put together and is considerably sturdier than I was expecting for the price range. The coiled cable is a lot longer and flexible than it looks. It provides a good reach when I'm playing, letting me walk around a bit but doesn't stretch enough that I can get the chord hooked and damaged on something. I also found that it is considerably easier to tidy up. You don't have to wind it up in a tiresome circle like normal guitar leads. It just sort of folds in to the perfect position to be tucked away. There also hasn't been any sign of interference in the sound. Can't go wrong with that.Honestly, I couldn't tell you about the specs of the cable etc but I can vouch for it on performance alone. It's by far the best budget guitar lead I have bought so far and if you're in need of a quick replacement, you can't go wrong.

I had to loan one of these leads of our sound tech and loved it so much, I tracked it down and bought my own just off the back of its cool retro look. I got more than I bargained for.The design is super cool (not a fan of a bland lead) and the length is perfect if you like to get about whilst playing. I could genuinely play in another room should my heart so desire it.To be honest, I'd never really bothered with stagg. This is the first product I had ever bought from them as I'd always thought cheap=not good. But this lead has lasted me several months now and a more expensive branded lead i bought at the same time is beginning to show the tell tale signs of a damaged connection. Stagg are now up there with other classic Belgian exports "Hercule Poirot" and "french fries" (take my word for it) in my opinion. I would definitely buy their products again, though may wish to test a higher priced item before diving right in.Whilst some pedants would moan about the quality of sound, I wouldn't. It has been noiseless for me and has been gigged pretty thoroughly, if you want a low end, reliable and nice looking lead, you just found it.

At first the cable seemed ok, but then after only a day or two we started to get cutting out. On closer inspection there were a couple of loose strands from one of the soldered joints touching the other terminal in one plug, so I remedied this quite easily, by removing them.All was well then for some weeks, but then it stopped working entirely. Again, on inspecting one of the plugs the central core had completely sheared from it's soldered position in the plug, so the connection was totally broken.This was caused by the cable not being properly clamped in position, so the load of the loose end plugged into the guitar was hanging solely on the soldered joint, not surprising it broke.Fortunately I have a soldering iron so I was able to repair the joint in half an hour and clamp the cable properly this time (just squeezing with pliers!) so it works again.But I would be wary of accepting another, without first taking a good look at the security of the plugs and how well they are fixed to the cable.

I've reached the point where if I wanted to lasso the moon I could probably tie all my Stagg cables together and make it happen. The plugs are good and solid, the strain relief and soldering look fine in the ones I've inspected, and they come in a decent choice of lengths to suit my studio cabling runs. They are not invincible, no cable ever is, but the connections are solid as they need to be and the cable will doubtless stand a fair bit of abuse too - just not in my studio where the worst thing that could happen is having a rack unit wheeled over them! The very solid plugs are top-notch.I'm happy with them and have been so for quite a while.
