Get what you pay for !!

By Steve from Iowa on February 6, 2023 Music Background: Rocking for 39 yrs now !!

Have used Mogami 18ft gold series now for a couple months. Great cable, great performance and sound quality from them !! Have 2 of them, 1 with straight ends and one with a 90° on one end. If you are on the fence, try one, you won't regret spending the extra money! Excellent warranty also! Been rocking heavy for a long time and started using Sweetwater about 8-9 yrs ago and haven't looked back! Thanks Robby! My sales manager that always goes above and beyond for me !!

I read all the reviews first on different web sites.

By Sweetwater Customer from Pennsylvania on July 14, 2022 Music Background: 40 yr guitar pLAYER

This is the only expensive cord I've ever owned except monster cable. Mines an 18'.tired of noise ,crackling popping scratching ect. not because of amp or instrument those annoyances are completely gone with this cable.The density and quality of sound is completely unbelievable and in difference to other comments the cable is not stiff or any of the other complaints.Granted its a bit pricey but you will and I have spent much more on inferior cables and the problems you have with them so ,that's it.

The Best Instrument Cables

By Eric from Texas on July 13, 2022 Music Background: Engineer

These are the best instrument cables.

Worth Buying.

By John Prochaska from SHAKOPEE, MN on November 16, 2021

Spending that much on a cable may seem insane,but its worth it.You will notice the difference.

Worth the money.

By Chris on September 22, 2021

You get what you pay for, especially when it comes to cables.

Mogami Gold !

By Sweetwater Customer on February 3, 2021

My favorite cables by far. !!!

Monster replacement

By Justin Brown from Dallas,Ga on June 28, 2020 Music Background: 21 years playing guitar

Since Monster cables became absolute garbage I need an equivalent and these Mogami Gold cables go beyond that. I've been using these cables since 2012 and I've never had to exchange any of them. Best cables out there and definitely worth the price tag.

From Monster to Mogami

By Jamison Wathen from Georgia on April 3, 2020 Music Background: Musician for 21 years, former touring musician in a hard rock/metal band, currently couch guitar player.

I used Monster cables for years. Decided to try these out at the suggestion of one of the awesome Sweetwater folks. Couldn't be happier with the switch. Solid, durable, and they have the same type of warranty Monster had. If you break it or it stops working, just take it to an authorized dealer and get it swapped out free of charge. Awesome instrument cable.

Quality tone

By Sweetwater Customer on March 9, 2020

I enjoy playing the **** out of these Mogami Gold cables. If you hear of these cables and have not got one you are missing out.

Improved my Tone !

By Robert Valenti from Old Bridge, NJ on March 2, 2020

I was using very average priced cables for a long time and was hoping that the mogami cables would improve my tone and I was exceptionally pleased by the performance! They really made me hear things I just couldn't hear with my cheap cables

Mogami GI Cables

By J Gandy from Florida on February 4, 2020

If you want a high quality cable and excellent sound, then I highly recommend that you try these cables.

It Works!

By Jim from Fresh Meadows on March 6, 2019

High quality cable. Excellent sound..

Top Quality in every department

By Croz' on March 3, 2019 Music Background: Playing and owning great gear for over 25 years and 6+ years in Costa Rica

I have been using Mogami for the past 6 years. I live in a tropical climate where heat, humidity, dust, salt from the ocean in the air, can wreak havoc with all electrical equipment without adequate care and storage in a dry environment.

I started using Mogami Gold 5 years ago and have superb signal, tone and reliability from their products.

As well as being robust and made to exacting standards, I love the light-weight and narrower cable construction.

I would not hesitate to recommend their products, and likewise Sweetwater for their continual professional & friendly service...these guys know what they are doing!

Noiseless!

By Craig R Elliott from IL on February 15, 2019 Music Background: Professional

I had monster cables. Switched to these. no more outside interference or noise!

Great Cable

By Gregg from Algonquin IL on January 24, 2018 Music Background: Professional

This is a great Cable, doesn"t seem to tangle up, no noise. Just a great all around product

Killed the hummmmmmm

By Jim from Vista CA on December 15, 2017

I have several cables of different lengths for connecting my Taylor acoustic to an amp. No matter which of my cables I used, I always had a low-level hum. But, this cable has killed the hum. My connection to the amp through this cable is quiet, just like it is supposed to be. It was definitely worth spending the money to get a high quality cable. I am throwing the old cables out and replacing them with more of these.

Sonic improvement

By William Sacco from Texas on June 14, 2017

Cables do matter. My sound was greatly improved after I received this cable!

The Best

By Edmond from Philadelphia PA on June 7, 2017 Music Background: Professional musician 30 plus years

These are definitely quality cables. very clear tone and super quiet. Also very durable. Will be buying more. Also Thanks Scott Bennett for always taking care of me...and the amazing service. Love Sweetwater

Great Cable

By DW from CT on March 1, 2017 Music Background: Home Musician

If you are spending a lot of $$$$$ on your gear then why skimp on cables, they are part of the audio path. Mogani cables a simply a great cable, the do not introduce any unwanted noise, they are durable and the build quality is high and consistent. The investment in these cables are worth the cost.

Best Cables Possible

By Kyle Graham from Florence, South Carolina on December 20, 2016 Music Background: Musician (15 years)

Ive been buying Mogami Gold for years and they have easily become my all time favorite cables to use for both acoustic and electric guitars. They make such a difference, esp through a PA with acoustic. Sweetwater has the best customer service in the industry and went out of their way to assist me. I also got a call telling me my order was being processed. Cant get better than that!

Mogami Gold Instrument-18

By Walt Gillette from Drayden, MD on December 5, 2016 Music Background: Guitar and Drums - I belong to a Christan Band called Jericho Road Project

This is the best guitar cable I have in my stock. Well used and reliable. This cable keeps your sounds perfect and will last forever. Don't go cheap with other cables if you play on stage! This is the one to get for you perfect sound.

More...More...More!

By Shay Hayden from Piqua OH on May 19, 2016 Music Background: Bar band.

I started with one, wanted a new instrument cable. Now every cable i own is mogami. They're that good, i tell everybody to buy them; you won't regret it!

Great Cable!

By Platinum Sunset on April 3, 2015 Music Background: You Tube Music Composer

Was introduced to this brand of cable by my Sales Engineer, and now I cannot bring myself to purchase any other. I was sure their would be some noise from an 18' cable in my environment, but shielding works great! For me, the higher price of this cable is justifiable, because of it's quality and lifetime warranty.

Mogami GOLD INSTRUMENT Cables

By John from Stafford, VA. on August 15, 2014 Music Background: Drums, Trumpet, & Guitar ROCK!

I now have six varying length Mogami Gold cables on my rig, and it's because they are that great sounding, period.

Good cable

By Sweetwater Customer from Syracuse, NY on April 26, 2024

It,s quiet and flexible..!!

Crisp & Clear

By Ethan on January 21, 2019

Awesome cables!

*Mogami Gold* -You get what you pay for

By Sweetwater Customer on January 20, 2019 Music Background: Singer/Songwriter

Mogami Gold has never let me down and I'm very pleased with the the clarity of my pedalboard after switching out all cables with Mogami. A bit pricey, but worth it considering the warranty, as always, backed up by Sweetwater immediate response. Thanks to both companies!

Worth the extra coin....no hiss, no noise just tone...perfect

By Nick McCormick from Seattle,WA on January 7, 2019 Music Background: Guitar Player / Luthier

Love these Mogami cables, my setup effects to amp, amp effects loop to pedals and pedal to pedal are all powered by Mogami Gold instrument and patch cables and my tone is great with no hint of hiss or unwanted noise......I couldnt be more pleased.

Well Worth The Money

By Randall Rich from Longwood, FL on December 16, 2017 Music Background: Player/Writer 45 years

Mogami makes excellent cables, well constructed, and zero noise (common in less expensive cables). I use the pair to connect my pedal board to my high-end AMP and they work perfect.

Top of the line

By Sweetwater Customer on November 22, 2017

Been using Mogami for over 10yrs, you can't compare them to any other !

Worth the investment

By Sweetwater Customer on December 30, 2016

I have slowly been replacing / upgrading all my cables to Mogami's and it has been worth it thus far. My signal chain is silent- which is a huge plus on its own.
Mogami's warranty sealed the deal for me- considering Monster kind of switched stances on their warranty.
I gave it a 4.5 simply because the cost- if your only buying a cable or two it still stings a bit- but replacing 10 or more really stings, how ever I should have done this years ago. As I cannot count the number of lesser quality cables I have bought for half the price only to throw them away after a short while.

Great cable, but…

By GuitarPhilosopher on August 19, 2014

…you can built it yourself for less than $1 per foot! The Mogami 2524 cable stock is easily the best-sounding (i.e., most transparent) cable I've used, and that's what the "Gold" series is built from. You can buy it pre-made, but if you have basic soldering skills (or have a friend who does) you can order this same exact cable stock for half of what you would pay pre-made-- and you can make custom lengths, as well. Mogami cable is great stuff. It lasts forever and never gives me trouble. Buy the raw cable and save $$.

Great cables

By Mike Haney from Kentucky on January 25, 2021 Music Background: Worship leader. Been a musician for 20 years

Love the fast shipping and service. Very heavy cable. I use them on stage every week.

Good. Not perfect

By Sweetwater Customer on February 2, 2020

I purchased this to facilitate moving around on stage & receive sound quality with a long cable. This cable delivers that. I didn't give it a 5 because I would like it to be be more flexible.

Great stuff

By K Ching from Nevada on September 22, 2014 Music Background: Recreational musician

Really good gear--highly recommend these Mogami Gold cables. Not too expensive and great sound.

Good cables but may not be for me

By Sweetwater Customer from IL on March 18, 2024 Music Background: Semi Professional

I tried these to see if there was a difference in tone from the George L cables I normally use. While the sound quality was good I noticed an increase in fullness in the bass and upper mids. The George L cables sounded more balanced to me and have a slightly thinner tone which I prefer. But they may be perfect for someone else.

Sounds fine, NOT flexible enough. Plastic.

By Eric Davis from Greenwood Village, CO on January 24, 2021

When using for a guitar these cables should be more floppy and flexible. These are like a stiff vacuum cleaner cord on a cold day. They may sound fine but a cable should have a more rubbery skin and lay flat on the ground. These have too much of a plastic in the outside layer. I don't care for them for use with an instrument that is going to be mobile like guitar or bass.
