My daddario cable just started wigging out and this is like the 5th cable ive been though in 7 years. I’m hard on my gear in general. What cables should I order next in particular?

    This would be the most economical thing. And as far as soldering goes, it’d be hard to find a simpler project than a guitar cable. Sometimes it’s the actual solder joint that goes bad, but a lot of the time they go out because the wire gets beat up by the end of the jack housing, so it’s usually a good idea to cut the cable an inch or two below the jack then re-solder from there to get rid of any potentially damaged wire.
