(please)

This might be the dullest thread ever, but I spotted this on a Lizard Queen review over at Guitar.com and really like the braid - I'm also in need of some new cables, so...!

    Sorry, no idea.

    If you like the colours, Ernie Ball do a black/green cable.

    No idea, but in the UK I'd go to Loaded for Bear for braided cables https://loadedforbear.co.uk/ - I think he just does single colours but might be up for a challenge if you message him about a custom job.

    With EHX being American though, I think maybe some of the bigger braided cable people out there might be https://revelationcablecompany.com/ or https://www.caulfieldcables.com/ as places to start looking?

    [Edit] you know what, could it be this one? https://www.caulfieldcables.com/products/lichen It says UV reactive, which sounds cool..

    Looks like the thickness of a hosepipe.
    Could it be one of those heat shrink braided sleeves?

    My first thought too but it's a different material, thanks though!


    Cheers @AntonHunter, I'll take a look through them. I think the photo's from Guitar.com directly though and they're (to my knowledge) UK-based so I'd think it's likely to be something readily available over here?


    *edit* Oh!! I think it is that UV reactive one, great work - thank you!

    **double edit** I am not paying £72 delivered for a 20ft cable :astonished:

    I think it is, they mention using van damme cable throughout, so presumably they just add the various sleeves over it... the hunt continues ;)

    had some cables like that. they get bloody filthy in no time at all. Not even gigging.
    My Trade Feedback Thread is here. 

    Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.

    That's surprising - I've got a lot of Horizon Vintage II cables I've had for about 25 years, they're cloth braided too... they're extremely resistant to picking up dirt, even on grubby stages - much more so than standard neoprene-type ones. Must be a different type of cloth.
