How we ranked these guitar cables

Every pick has at least 100 customer ratings on Amazon and a listing with real specifications. The order mixes two things: how each model compares on the specs below (higher share of the best value in this group scores more), and how widely it is bought. The spec score runs from 9.0 to 9.8 and only compares these picks with each other. A spec the listing does not state is left out and the other specs are re-weighted; a listing with fewer than 2 stated specs is scored at half. We do not test gear in person. Full method.

Buying advice: stereo guitar cable

Match the length to your setup

Length decides slack and reach: this list covers 3 ft, 3.3 ft, 6.6 ft, 10 ft and 50 ft. Short cables suit a pedalboard or a desk rig, while long cables suit a stage or a studio room. Measure the path from instrument to amp or mixer, then pick the length that covers it without pulling tight.

Check plugs before you buy

Plugs decide fit: the RUXELY and belipro use a right-angle plug on one end, the JOLGOO and CableCreation use a male plug on both ends, and the GOSYSONG uses a male plug on one end and a female jack on the other. Right-angle plugs sit closer to the gear, which helps in tight spaces. Match the plug type to the jacks on your instrument and amp.

Compare shielding and jacket material

Shielding cuts interference: the RUXELY uses dual-layer shielding, the belipro uses three shielding layers, and the JOLGOO uses foil shielding plus a metal braid shield. Jackets differ too: the RUXELY, belipro and JOLGOO use braided nylon, while the CableCreation uses a PVC outer layer. Pick the shielding and jacket that match how much the cable moves.

Frequently asked questions

What length guitar cable should I buy?

Measure the path from your instrument to your amp or mixer first. This list covers 3 ft, 3.3 ft, 6.6 ft, 10 ft and 50 ft, so pick the length that covers the path without pulling tight.

What is a TRS stereo cable?

It is a 6.35mm cable that carries a balanced stereo signal between two pieces of gear. The RUXELY, belipro, JOLGOO and CableCreation use male plugs on both ends, while the GOSYSONG adds a female jack for extension use.

Do I need a right-angle plug?

It helps when the jack sits close to a wall or another pedal, since the plug sticks out less. The RUXELY and belipro include a right-angle plug, while the JOLGOO and CableCreation use straight plugs on both ends.

Can I extend a short guitar cable?

Yes. The GOSYSONG is a 10 ft male-to-female extension cable that lengthens a short cable run. Plug the short cable into the female jack, then run the extension to your amp or mixer.
