Donner makes good products at a reasonable price, and their guitar cables are no different. The Donner Guitar Cable is an affordable solution for anyone who wants to pick up a spare guitar cable, or a new main cable for their rig.
We love that this cable has 1 right angled head and 1 straight head. The right angled head is great if you have a guitar with an input on the bottom, because you can play sitting down in a chair without bending the head.
The Donner cables not only look good, but the braided cover is tough and allows the cable to be flexible while providing pro quality audio. There’s no feedback, squeal, radio interference, or hum and everything fits snugly as it should. The ends of the cable feel tight and strong.
