Adam Hall Cables has just dropped the Flipjack, a simple but brilliant guitar cable that could be the solution to all your mid-gig guitar swapping woes.
Some guitars are naturally inclined to take a certain kind of cable. Strats, for example, tend to favor straight jack cables, while Les Pauls much prefer angled jacks because of the position of their output.
For those who gig with multiple guitars – changing for tonal, tuning, or aesthetic reasons throughout their set – this small design quirk can be a nuisance.

“The idea behind it is as simple as it is practical,” Adam Hall explains. “Instead of having to swap the right cable when changing instruments, the jack plug adapts to the instrument. This saves time, reduces stress during live performances, minimizes strain on the cable and socket, and ensures hassle-free handling on stage.”
Each cable also offers an extra-large inner conductor (0.50 mm² / AWG 20) for maximum conductivity, and a tinned copper-braided shield, which helps protect against interference. The Flipjack is available in 1.5m, 3m, 4.5m, 6m, and 9m lengths.
“As an active live musician and guitarist myself, Flipjack is something I’ve always needed – but has never existed, until now,” adds Oliver Bick, Team Lead Product Management at Adam Hall.
Guitar cables are becoming something of a hot spot for engineering innovations. Last year, Ibanez and JTC claimed that their collaborative cable design was “the next step in cable technology”.
The Adam Hall Flipjack is available now.
