Legendary rock guitarist Yngwie J. Malmsteen has been using DiMarzio® cables for years. Our new YJM™ Signature Guitar Cable features gold-plated DiMarzio®/ Switchcraft plugs. These plugs incorporate a new improved strain relief for the already well-designed Switchcraft end. They have a jewelry finish and are laser etched with Yngwie's signature. The cable has been tuned for Yngwie's sound. YJM™ Signature cables are encased in a Ferrari red braided jacket that protects the cable from damage. Additionally, they are double-shielded to reduce hum, interference, and noise. All DiMarzio® cables are hand-made in our New York City plant.
