D'Addario Custom Series 10 ft Braided Instrument Cable, B&W Tweed
The D'Addario PW-BG-10BG is a 10 ft guitar cable wrapped in braided nylon with a black-and-white tweed pattern. The braid shields the cable from the rubbing, cuts and kinks that eventually wear out an ordinary jacket.
What sets it apart
- Braided nylon jacket against abrasion and kinks
- Coaxial oxygen-free copper conductor, double shielding
- Straight nickel-plated plugs
A jacket that takes the hits
Dragged across the stage floor, pinned under a mic stand, coiled tight in the case: the jacket takes the beating. The nylon braid stands up to it. Underneath, two shielding layers keep the signal clear of stray noise.

Frequently asked questions
- Are braided guitar cables better?
- For durability, the braid protects the jacket better. The sound depends mostly on the conductor and the shielding.
- Braided vs rubber guitar cable: what's the difference?
- A braided jacket holds up better to cuts and kinks; a smooth jacket is easier to wipe clean.
- Can you use a balanced cable for guitar?
- No need: a guitar output is unbalanced. This mono cable with 1/4" plugs is the right format.
