Not a guitar expert but I can say that in all other areas the fancy high dollar cables are a complete and total waste of money ,,, The Grateful Dead played for years attempting to get some “better” sound out of ultra-low impedance stage circuitry and guitar pickups and it never made an ounce of difference. I would put the highest importance on reliability , strength and price ,, I would think that cables would be abused and having them fail from being yanked/pulled , caught on things ... and having them inexpensive enough to have multiple backups ... would be most important.

Yeah, Neidermeyer...

I’m not interested in the boutique cables. Just well shielded, road worthy, clean cables.

Generally agree, but the very cheap guitar cables usually have screw off ends, and those will unscrew themselves and come loose lying on the floor in the middle of the night. I’ve used the cheaper Monster cables and also Planet Wave. The most I’ve paid for a cable was a longer Planet Wave, for $35. Neither the Monster or PW cables have screw off ends and they work fine.
