Right angle cables, which ones fit in standard tele cup jack?

psychotelepathic · June 29th, 2008, 11:08 AM

I'm on the hunt for a cable and like the look of right angle into the guitar, but afraid it won't be reliable to stay in. Anyone experimented with a few of these?

I used a Mogami cable with the right angle plug into an ASAT and it worked great. It cost more...probably due to the name; you can get the same components put together for less. Try contacting Bayou Cables: http://www.bayoucables.com/ ~ Terrific customer service from what I hear, and you can get any length cable you desire.

I have a Planet Waves cable that fits. Not sure what model #, because it was open-box/clearance at GC. Plastic-coated gold ends, with built-in "spring" thingies on the sleeve -- maybe the "spring" things are supposed to make it grab better???

Can't comment on reliability with a Tele, though, because I bought it specifically for use with guitars that have the jack on the guitar FACE (e.g., SG).

Fender has their Platinum cables with one straight end and one angled end. The angled end is perfect for a Tele. Good sounding cable too.

All my Switchcraft, Bullet, and Planet Waves cables fit without a problem.

Mine doesn't...I've got the bullet coiled and its right angle end falls out...it fits the electrosocket jacks fine but not my 52RI.
