What is a good quality instrument cable to use for the various types of guitars (Electric, Acoustic, Elec/Acous, Classical)?

Anyone have suggestions? Reviews? Opinions?

Everyone seems to worship Monster Cables, but I think there are other more professional brands as well. Lets give 'em a chance.

Mogami Cables
Monster Cables

My whole studio is wired with Monster cables. $12,000 worth : )

All of the professionals seem to use Mogami cables for their studios. Mogami cables seem to be higher quality and cheaper. (Made in Japan) and they don't have much marketing, while Monster markets their stuff like Microsoft takes over companies.

What exactly do you mean by instrument cable, anyway?

Yep. My band's cables kept failing all the time. I resoldered all of them, never had any problems after that.

I use Mogami for mic cables, and they are great. For guitar cable I use George L's, but I got them a while back for a good price. Since then they've hiked up the price and I don't think they're worth it for what they're asking now.
