Here’s a great idea - guitar cables with magnetic ends that snap off when pulled so, if you are not using a wireless system but still insist on doing those Pete Townsend-style windmills, you won’t break your cable when you trip over it on the way to falling flat on your arse.

Snap-Jack magnets allow for quick separation when cable is subject to excessive tension, reducing the risk of personal injury and damage to your equipment. They are also cool for eliminating amplifier noise during connection/disconnection.

Features

  • Prevents damage to instrument
  • Eliminates amplifier noise during connection/disconnection
  • Prevents tripping
  • Noise reduction technology
  • Sturdy magnet detaches only with excessive tension

What if it snaps apart and whacks the beautiful finish on your expensive Strat? Ouch...

I've never damaged a jack this way. I have stepped on my chord in the middle of a performance and looked like an ass while I fumbled around for my chord to put it back in. That's why you loop it through the strap. I pity the noob who buys this and embarrasses them self repeatedly on stage.
