I have two colors, black and silver/gray and a total of about 10,000 feet. This is great stuff. I have a datasheet attached below for similar coax but this stuff isn't as flexible as the datasheet would indicate. I don't know if I'd use it for guitar cable, but it is perfect for amps. Strips very easy and looks very nice to boot. It came from Kick Ass Cables, and is labeled with the brand, so be aware of this if you don't want that label on it, that is the way it comes. Jack at Kick Ass Cables ordered a sample and they sent him the 10,000 feet before his approval. He doesn't want to make guitar cables with it, so I bought it off of him on the cheap.

I'm thinking I will sell most of this coax, as I will never build enough to use even a good fraction of what I have. I think $0.50/foot would be a fantastic price and I'll send out a 10 foot sample for the cost of shipping to a bunch of you guys just to get some feedback out there for others to judge by.

This is outstanding amp cable, not just good.
This is the old Gepco stuff! I loved Gepco and miss them so much. I contacted Beldon who bought them and Beldon said they will make the stuff but you have to order a massive amount. The one you have listed there I use for my personal instrument cables. I would def be interested in buying some to make more instrument cables for myself.
I'd recommend getting a 10' sample to make sure the flexibility suits your needs.
If it is in fact XB20UB Gepco then I'm very familiar. It is not suited for internal amp use but a great instrument cable and I'm interested.

Did you get my DM? I might not have sent it correctly.
