The Snap Jack Guitar Cable uses high end cables and neodymium magnets with 24 carat gold plated connectors. Snap Jack magnets allow for quick separation when the cable is subject to excessive tension, thereby reducing the risk of personal injury and damage to your equipment, while eliminating any obnoxious popping or screeching sounds when it snaps. It also avoids the popping screeching sound during plugging or unplugging of the cable while the amplifier is on. Available with either straight or an right angled end and is US Patent Pending Magnetic Precision Technology.
