This is a cable for a guitarist girl. Built with silver-plated copper teflon-coated twisted pair, a pearlescent (transparent with glittering metal dots) Techflex sleeving, a 6.3 mm. TS plug, and a Neutrik 3.5 mm plug with a 6.3 mm. adapter. The 3.5 mm. end plugs into any soundcard (the idea is that you can play with effects supplied by software like Reason or any VST host, and also record directly to a PC).

 

This uses the same wiring as sold by Navships on EBay ("John's Silver Wire" store). High-quality copper strands with silver plating; there's a lot of silver in there, so it's a jewel in a way. This cable sounds cleaner and quicker than Canare star-quad.

 

And yes, it's shiny, so it ought to be nice for gigs. That's what it was intended for. But the buyer thought it was too expensive.

 

The cable is mono (TS plug on guitar end, 3.5 mm. miniplug on soundcard/amp end, with a 6.3 mm. adapter). Length is 3 metres.

 

Asking price is $50 (materials, excluding transport expenses, cost more than $30, so this is fairly cheap). Shipping is around $5 to North America, ~$10 to Europe, and ~$15 to the rest of the world.
