Guitar cable choices in the Tanglewood Flex range

If you need a dependable guitar cable without spending much, the Tanglewood Flex series is the place to start. It has 7 leads priced from £12 to £20, designed to connect an electric, bass or electro-acoustic guitar to an amp or effects pedal. When you want a more robust option, step up to the Tanglewood Flex Ultra cables.

What you get in the series

The range includes the Tanglewood FX3 at £12, the lowest price in the series. Higher-priced Flex cables reach £20. A guitar instrument cable at this level is well suited to a home set-up where the lead is plugged in and left alone, or to a student carrying one to lessons. For stage use, look at the extra choices in the Ultra range.

Guitar amp cable or speaker cable

Many people search for a guitar amp cable and end up unsure what to buy. A guitar amplifier cable that links your instrument to the amp input is a shielded instrument lead, and that is what these are. Speaker cables are different: they join an amp head to a speaker cabinet and should not be swapped with an instrument lead. If you are buying your first acoustic guitar amplifier, one instrument cable is all you need to get going.

Picking the right one

  • Length: long enough to reach the amp comfortably, but not so long that it drags across the floor.
  • Plugs: check if you prefer a straight plug or an angled one, which can sit closer to the guitar body.
  • Budget: at £12 to £20, buying a spare is easy, and a spare lead is useful at any rehearsal.

Matching your guitar

These cables suit any guitar with an output jack. That includes our electric guitars and electro-acoustic guitars. Browse the full guitar cables collection to compare, and add a bag from the gig bags range to keep everything together. Free UK delivery applies to every order.

A lead for every player

Students, hobby players and anyone building a first set-up will find these leads easy to use. Buy one for the amp at home and one for the rehearsal room, so you never have to unplug and carry it each time. Check the plugs are pushed in fully, and replace a lead if it starts to crackle when moved, since that is often a sign of wear inside the cable.
