If you have a soldering iron they are very easy to make.

What our friend Bob said. Also they come in different colors. These arn't that hard to build, been making Canare instrument and low Z cables for years. If i can build them, believe me, anyone can. Happy hot solder joint to ya Marty.  |

You said it in your first sentence, George Ls, without any doubts.

| Just telling you, buy the George L cables from Bill Ferguson and your cable problems will be over. This is a Great Man and sells a great product and makes it easy for the customer. I bought my cables from him and I am totally satisfied with the service and product. And this man loves and supports the pedal steel. Or do it your way. But you won't end up saving anything. |

Truth be told, if you're using a buffer or powered volume pedal, different brands of cable aren't really going to sound much better or worse. If you're using just a pot pedal into the amp, then a low-cap cable will help the highs, somewhat.  |

I am with you Jack.
I believed in George L's products which is why I invested and became a dealer for my steel guitarist friends.
