I've found that in order to save money, I'll need to buy 100-500 feet of bulk instrument wire, but hey, that's 20-25 cables!

This is helpful. If you're looking for any more topics, one thing I am curious about, and maybe would be a good sponsored video topic, is how you can do this with the least amount of tools possible

just a tip.. you should had way more cable into the jack, meaning the cable should go further trough the jack clamp, it will work for more "years", you exposed too much the ground wire, self experience as a daily guitar player, great instrument cable you have there tho ...trying to buy 20 or 30 meters, cheers from Portugal

Great video. Thanks.

Great video! What size heat shrink tubing would you recommend for this job? Is 1/2" the right size?

1/2" should work for most cables... test it out first. Thanks for watching and I hoped you have subscribed to my channel?

You realize that after the "musician" buys the cable and connectors, the soldering iron, the third hand & a heat gun, he could have bought a much, much better one from me at his specified length.

I use cheap 16-18 AWG unshielded lamp-cord for speaker cables. Is there a Home Depot equivalent for shielded 18 gauge guitar cable?

How about twisting the two cores together and use them as one? Or use one core and omit the other?

You absolutely can, I've been doing it for over 40 years.

Eh... Think I'll just buy em 😅

What makes those premium guitar cables that expensive ? Aren’t they all made technically the same way?

Magic dust and gold- lol. Just marketing...buy decent quality cable wire and switch craft jacks and they will be just as good as a "premium " brand

I've seen guitar cables range from $5 to $42000, they're all made differently using different materials. Don't ever spend more than $100 on an Instrument cable.

I stopped buy those overpriced guitar cables years ago. They’re easy to make and you can make a high quality cable for much less.
