this is the first argument that i am NOT going to weigh in on, despite the very strong urge, as per my prior commitment made in the "strat" thread.

i'm just letting you guys know. :P

Seriously, nothing looks cooler than a coil cable. I don't give a fuck how shitty it sounds or whatever, because I play rock and roll like a goddamn man.

Nothing looks more Trendy and Wank than a coiled cable. Even before you strum a chord I know you're going to sound like whatever SuperGayBadger or whatever mewithoutus' "band" is called these days.

I got to join in with the down with coiled cables lot. Coiled cables have got to be the worst looking cables ever.

Back to the original post, I've ordered a Clear Tone cable to try out.

You always seem to get coiled cables with guitar packs, I got a one with my Sunn Mustang P bass it broke in about 2 weeks.

I never would have guessed that people would take coiling cable this seriously.

That's not to say it isn't important, but to argue about it.. really? :p

Well you wouldn't have to put up with tangled cords ever. I personally would not go wireless but I think if you really really really have a thing against cords then why not. Oh and yeah you could jump into the crowd and get out teh rawkz. or you could play on stage like a normal human-being and just avoid the hassle of cords.

do your guitar and amp/FX still interact properly? doesnt the impedence/ resistance in your signal chain affect the overall sound? or is that just something some GEARSLUTZ keep saying?

isn't lowering the impedence how zachary vex says the SHO makes your guitar sound awesome, or something?

am i making this up?
