cord with longer right angle for Stringmaster?

Post by Pete Martin »

I stand when I play and on my 57 T8 Stringmaster, I have to use the straight plug as the right angle plug is just barely too short to fit in the recessed receptacle.

I need a guitar to amp cord with a slightly extended right angle guitar plug to fit . Anybody know if they are made?

Have you tried a Switchcraft #226 plug?

No experience, but the Canare GS-6 extended right angle plug version cable for tele guitars' recessed jacks. Pricey though.

These Amphenol right angle plugs work with my Stringmaster:

They seem to be more durable than the standard Neutrik right-angle plugs, and have better cable-clamp support than the Switchcraft.

These are spendy, but it's hard to go back once you use them. They work for me, as well, and I haven't had one fall apart like the standard, non-switched Nuetrik version:

One thing to consider if you are still having problems- you can replace the jack with the long bushing version to get it to stick out further in the cup. You would want the 0.375" bushing length:

Hope this helps

Why not use a straight extension adaptor with your right angle?......

I have a 10 foot D'Addarrio with a right angle at one end. It works great with my Stringmarster.
