This is a shielded cable from Custom Audio Japan. It's 7 meters long, so how about one for live performances? Of course, it would also be great for home use, and you can get tones that aren't available with current products. There is some wear and tear, but it produces a good tone without any crackling or noise and is fully functional. There is a 2.5cm scratch at the spot indicated by the finger, but otherwise, there are no other issues. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about the condition, as this is a used item. Thank you.
