Detail 01
20 ft length
Enough to walk a small stage. Longer cable means more capacitance, which slightly softens high end.

D'AddarioGold-Plated 1/4" Angled - Straight Instrument Cable 20 ft.
1/2
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 20-foot instrument cable with gold-plated plugs, one angled and one straight. For players who want corrosion-resistant contacts on a stage-length run.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Guitar to amp across a stage, with room to move
- Top-jack instruments where an angled plug clears your body
- Rigs left plugged in, where contacts sit and oxidize
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Short pedal-to-pedal hops — 20 feet coils up badly
- Side-jack Strats and Teles, where the straight end is simpler
- Anyone who just needs a spare and won't notice gold plating
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Gold-plated plugs
Gold resists corrosion, so the jack contact stays clean over years. It does not change tone on day one.
Detail 03
One angled, one straight end
Angled goes in the guitar to sit flat against your body; straight goes to the amp.
Detail 04
1/4" plugs
Standard instrument jack. Works with guitar, bass, keyboard, and most pedals and amps.
Detail 05
Black jacket
Disappears on a dark stage. Harder to spot in a tangle of other cables at load-out.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check which end your guitar jack needs — angled won't fit recessed Strat-style jacks
- 02A cable alone; no clips, ties, or wrap included
- 03At $37.99 you are paying for the plating over the cheaper classic version
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is 20 feet too long for practice at home?
It works, but you'll be coiling most of it. A 10-foot cable is easier to manage if you never leave the room.
02Does gold plating actually sound better?
No. It resists corrosion at the contact point, so the connection stays reliable longer. Tone is the same on a new cable either way.
03Which end goes in the guitar?
The angled end, in most cases. It sits flat against the body instead of sticking out where it can get knocked.
04Will this work with a bass or keyboard?
Yes. It's a standard 1/4" instrument cable, so any instrument with a 1/4" output works.
