  • I love that guitar... Does anybody know if its a custom shop, if so... who's?

  • @benbrown4544 That's a US Strat, circa 2001. Not a custom shop guitar, but very very nice!

  • Do they come with a lifetime warranty like planet waves cables?

  • @vainparasite The product is warranted to be free of defects in material and workmanship for the lifetime of the original owner! Any questions/trouble, give us a call at 800.367.5533.

  • I can't believe what a con this video is. Yes it's true that the EQ and Gain and set-up etc. is the same, and I'm not saying that elixir cables aren't better, they proably are a bit for audiophiles like me, but come on man, it so clear to anyone who plays fingerstyle clean guitar that he is just playing brighter picking-wise and allowing a tiny bit of string buzz through, and using his nails more the second time. Bollox is that difference the cable.

  • @Muzikman127 There's a lot of misinformation out there about cables, so we understand your skepticism. Other independent players in the video compared cables as well, and while it's true that playing style can influence tone, there is a significant difference that capacitance makes. That difference can be, and has been, easily measured. For more info see the cables page on our website.

  • How does this compare to brands such as Mogami, Monster and Lava? I tried one of these Elixir cables today when picking up my mandolin. Compared to a cheaper cable it sounded way, way smooth. The difference in this video is like night and day, too - which surprises me.

    Excellent demo!

  • @Muzikman127 cant make much of a diffrence on hammer-ons

  • @ElixirStringsMedia He should have played the EXACT same thing both times save your spin for the dealers

  • Haha, i thought there was a problem in my guitar or in my soundcard. And then i see this! It was a damn cable who made the sound muddy and without treble!

  • From now on I need another guitar for clean things, because I don't want that brightness to come in my vintage style drive sound : D

  • Just wish the cost could be a bit cheaper....
