Guitar World, 12/04 - High-Wire Acts

Ever since George Lewis invented the high-end guitar cable, his George L’s products have been the choice of famously particular players, including Eric Johnson… Players can cut the cable to their exact requirements and attach any of three rock-solid plug varieties in under a minute. Non-plated brass plugs deliver the most organic and balanced tone. The gold plated plugs provide some bloom and midrange harmonic brilliance in the mids, while the nickel-plated connectors produce maximum treble attack and presence.

While these plug choices alter the nuances of tone, the cable’s basic sound remains the same-an upper mid accent that matches the guitar’s natural voice, with rattlesnake-quick transients that place no limits on speed or articulation. What more could you want? – Excerpt by Eric Kirkland

Guitar Player, 09/97 - Spanning the Tone Gap, A Guitar Cable Shootout

Bean spill. Rather than make you wade through all this to find out what we thought was the best-sounding cable, let’s just say that nothing beat the 20’ George L’s. With its capacitance measuring an incredibly low 418pf (the highest was 1,150pf), this transparent-sounding cord was lively, immediate and totally revealing of every guitar we used. It was also very quiet… If a connection goes bad (the ultimate fate of all cables), all you do is cut the damaged section… and you’re back in action. The George L’s system takes the drudgery out of wiring a rack or pedal board, but the big payoff is how it clarifies your sound. – Excerpt by Art Thompson
