Detail 01
Angled plug on one end
The angled end tucks against the body on side-mounted jacks, so the cable is less likely to get levered out.

D'AddarioGold-Plated 1/4" Angled - Straight Instrument Cable 10 ft.
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
10-foot instrument cable with one angled and one straight plug and gold-plated contacts. Suited to guitars with side or recessed jacks.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Strat-style side jacks where a straight plug juts out
- Seated or studio playing within 10 feet of the amp
- Guitars whose jack is recessed into the body
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Roaming a large stage — 10 feet runs out fast
- Pedalboard patching, where 10 feet is far too long
- Rigs needing straight plugs at both ends
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Gold-plated contacts
Gold resists tarnish, so the connection stays clean over time. It does not change your tone.
Detail 03
10 feet
Short enough to stay tidy for seated or studio use, but limits how far you can walk from the amp.
Detail 04
1/4 inch, unbalanced
Standard guitar, bass and pedal connection. Not for microphones or balanced runs into a mixing console.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Check which end needs the angled plug — some jack cavities only clear one orientation
- 02No mute switch, so unplugging live can pop through an amp
- 03One cable; pedalboards need separate short patch cables
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Which end goes into the guitar?
The angled end, in most cases. It sits flush against the body on side-mounted or recessed jacks. Straight goes to the amp or pedal.
02Do gold-plated contacts sound better?
No. Gold resists corrosion, so the contact stays reliable over years. Any audible difference comes from a dirty or worn jack, not the metal itself.
03Is 10 feet enough for playing live?
Only for a small stage or if you stay near your amp. For moving around, a 15 or 20 foot cable gives more room.
04Will the angled plug fit my guitar?
It fits most side-mounted and recessed jacks. Deeply routed cavities or tight control plates can restrict the angle, so check clearance if your jack is unusually recessed.
