Right out of the package this cable had a shorted end. The cable clips inside the housing are made of plastic! Bless Musicians Friend for taking care of the situation hassle free.

If you'd like to hear the acoustics of your axe get in touch with your electronics, see above.

The gold Amphenol plugs make contact with the jacks with precision, allowing the wood of your axe and it's natural warmth shine to through. Believe you me - I never knew you could actually achieve this effect without spending a thousand bucks or two.

The Custom Pro cable also removes any exsisting muddy overtones, allowing more clarity than ever before. I thought the PW Custom cable was not going to be too different from the Pro, and it isn't, but the Custom doesn't have the Pro features aspect, only it's basic tone.

I'd still use the PW Custom as an alternative cable, but if I can help it - I'm only using the Planet Waves Custom Pro! And so should you.

I read the product comparison on the back of the packaging and couldn't reconcile how the Custom Pro cable, "the ultimate" according to the mfr's hype, could have a lower "Signal Transparency" than the Circuit Breaker cables. In other words, how does a product rated 9/10 by the manufacturer outperform a product rated 10/10? Further baffling to me was the fact that all cables listed on the comparison use 24 AWG conductors. So, again, I had difficulty understanding how the CPs were any different from the Customs, or the Circuit Breakers for that matter. Besides, it's a bit of a stretch to call 24 AWG wire "heavy gauged." And the illustration on the front of the CP packaging revealed the "network" of conductors to be a "network" of two. This seems a little misleading, given that the Customs' conductors are described as a "twisted pair." So why is it a "network" on the CPs but only a "twisted pair" on the Customs? I may not be the sharpest tack in the toolbox, but, especially given the identical performance ratings of the CPs and Customs, I'd bet they're the identical cable with different connectors.
