Do cheapo Rock Shop cables count? I don't mean the sturdy (and expensive) ones, I mean the el cheapo ones.
Had a guy come in with his rig to show us the sound problem he was having. That was his guitar lead. The cheap throwaway cable that comes with Squier guitars. Plugged him in with a Fender Platinum series and his face dropped. When he picked his jaw up off the floor, he started packing up and went home. That was the problem.
Yup - that's me and my pal Steve or little stevie vai as I like to call him. In Auckland airport when I was 26. I'm not 26 anymore.

I try and avoid the long runny cables :?
