A high-definition instrument cable, Gold Instrument R is for guitar players who prefer a 90-degree connection on one end. This high clarity cable uses the highest quality ¼" connectors and carbon impregnated PVC to provide an additional shield layer to eliminate handling noise.

• OFC (oxygen-free copper) core for the highest level of transparency
• Carbon impregnated PVC eliminates handling noise
• Ultra High Density spiral shield
• Conductive polymer sub-shield
• Lifetime warranty

Most musical instrument sound pick-ups, for example those in electric guitars, are comprised of high impedance circuits driven mainly by voltage, with very little electrical current flow. That is why handling noise (microphonics) can be a problem for guitar cables. Microphonic noise is caused by the minute voltage generated when a cable is flexed, stepped on, etc. Guitar cables must be designed to prevent this, so a conductive PVC layer is placed under the shield conductor to drain away this voltage. Note: This conductive layer must be stripped back when wiring, or a partial short will result.
