Yes, Don! You're taking the plunge.......good on ya. Believe me, you won't look back.
I know that the George L website has many options for pre-made and bulk.
Sometimes, if you visit a local store, they might be having problems thinning out the big spool (all the cheapo six-stringers  ) and may give you a deal on a length of cable and some ends. |

| which size do you guys go with the most? the .155 or the .225 Diameter cable? i use them mixed, not sure if i am suppose to or not. But i don't hear any difference between the diameters. And how many feet max should you make a 1/4" hi Z cable run? is 25 feet to long? |

George - 25 feet just depends on your ear. you might lose some highs, but they'd be hard to detect playing with a band.
I use the light stuff for effects and effects-to-amp, and the heavier type for guitar-to-amp...or I did playing bass and regular guitar. With steel it really doesn't matter.
PS - SOME Guitar Center stores stock the stuff in bulk , and the connectors. If you know a GC manager, you can sweet talk him into bringing it in to stock, and they'll beat any price you can find.[This message was edited by Jim Sliff on 29 November 2006 at 08:47 PM.] |

You really have to try it with your pickup and listen to whether you can tell the difference. Even 3 feet can be too long in some cases; that's why we sometimes use buffer amps that mount dierctly on the guitar. |

| If I'm not mistaken the only difference between the .155 and .225 cable is the thickness of the insulation. The actual wire inside is the same. Also I've heard guys say that the larger diameter cable is harder to get to lay flat. |

In this case (cable) "size doesn't matter". It's the electrical characteristics and if they are the same then they are both equal.

| George L says the .225 is made for higher abuse applications...like laying on stage and getting walked on. |

| That's correct and I meant to mention it. The only reason I used the thicker stuff for "regular" guitar is it was easier to handle and took slightly more abuse when moving around on stage. For stationary use the thin one is fine. |
