D'Addario American Stage 15 ft Instrument Cable, Right Angle to Right Angle
The D'Addario American Stage PW-AMSGRR-15 is a 15 ft guitar cable with right-angle plugs at both ends. It suits the player who moves around a decent-sized stage and wants each end to sit tight against its jack, on the instrument and on the pedalboard alike.
What sets it apart
- Two right-angle Neutrik plugs with Geo-Tip
- 15 ft of slack to move without pulling on the jack
- 22 AWG oxygen-free copper conductor and 95% tinned braid
- Built in New York, limited lifetime warranty
Two right angles, two protected jacks
On stage a cable takes two kinds of abuse: it gets stepped on and it pulls on its plugs. A right-angle plug sits close to the jack and protrudes very little, which cuts the leverage on the jack when the cable goes taut. Here that benefit applies at both ends: at the guitar, and at a pedalboard whose input is often on the side.
Length has a cost, and this series keeps it low
A cable's capacitance adds up foot by foot. At 28 pF per foot, 15 ft comes to about 420 pF, versus 280 pF for the 10 ft version. For anyone who needs that room to roam, starting from such a low per-foot figure is how the highs stay crisp. Guitarist Plini says he picks American Stage because these cables survive being thrown, stepped on and bent.

Frequently asked questions
- What's the point of a guitar cable with right angles at both ends?
- It protects both jacks: the instrument's, and the pedalboard's or amp's when that input faces sideways.
- Does guitar cable length matter?
- Capacitance rises with length, which can soften the highs. That is why a low per-foot value, 28 pF here, matters.
- How long should a guitar cable be for the stage?
- Long enough to move without stretching it. 15 ft suits a mid-sized stage; in the studio, 10 ft is often plenty.
- How long do guitar cables last?
- The American Stage series carries the maker's limited lifetime warranty.
