1/4" 90 degree Instrument cable ends ??

[tjh]

I have never messed much with guitar or speaker cables, usually just bought something middle of the road and moved on, fixed a few on occassion though ... I need a couple of 10' guitar chords for my practice area, so I am going to cut a 20' in half and install a couple 90's on the end of the cuts .. any recommendations as to a source/brand for reasonable priced right angle plugs? thank you

Radio shack, they are cheap and as good as any other

Cheap, yes...

As good as a Neutrik though? OK a Neutrik costs at least double, but is easier to assemble, has better strain relief & is of higher quality overall.

DO NOT skimp out on the ends. I bought some cheap ones on ebay a little while ago for my pedal board and the tips ended up coming off inside my pedals. Buy good quality ends and you will never have to think about it again.

+1 for the neutriks [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

Switchcraft are my favourites.

Another vote for Switchcraft. I believe they're cheaper than Neutrik and they are really durable/dependable.

corrected it for ya.

Would cutting a chord in half mean only fingering half as many notes?

Much easier to cut a cord or cable.

And yes, the more expensive connectors are worthwhile. But using proper technique in preparing the cable ends, soldering correctly and selecting a connector with some kind of strain relief is also very important.

another one for using Neutrik and a big +1 on taking time to do a proper solder

Yeah, the ratshack stuff isn't even close to being as good as Switchcraft, Neutrik, or G&L...
