But Lucky, remember that the quality of the product is NO bettter than any other costing 1/3 the price. As for the warranty, any monkey with a quarter ounce of grey matter and a $5 Radio Shack soldering iron can fix a guitar cable in less than five minutes. In 99% of all cases, it is the solder point between the wire itself and the connector that goes bad - beyond simple to fix. Only in rare cases, like if the cable itself is severed, do things become more complex. It's actually cheaper and less hassle to fix it yourself than to make a drive to the music store for the exhange... so their warranty is pretty worthless.
