You can never have enough guitar cables, right? That’s both an excellent piece of received wisdom, regarding preparation for future pedalboards and amp rigs, and also a prophetically-true statement about the inevitable existence of faulty leads in your current crop.

Keeping on top of your guitar cables and patch leads is never fun, but needs must – and what better time to meet those needs than “deals o’clock”? Amongst a plethora of Prime Day guitar deals, I’ve pulled out five of the best lead and patch cable kits, from Fender to MXR and beyond, and all with massive savings.

Fender Professional Series instrument cable (10ft)
Save 30% ($6)
Fender Professional Series instrument cable (10ft): was $19.99 now $13.99 at Amazon

Fender’s obviously a household name for guitars, but its range of guitar accessories is well-regarded too – particularly when it comes to guitar cables, which are attractively priced and outlast their non-branded counterparts quite handily too. This, from Fender’s Professional series, is a PVC-jacketed 10ft cable with some anti-kink cleverness beneath the sheath. Usually, these go for $19.99, but you can grab them for just $13.99 on Prime Day – a smart 30% discount.

Fender Professional Series tweed instrument cable (10ft)
Save 66% ($23)
Fender Professional Series tweed instrument cable (10ft): was $34.99 now $11.99 at Amazon

Another from Fender’s Professional series, this 10ft cable eschews the PVC sheath in favor of a braided tweed exterior with a highly appealing pastel hue. Easily the best discount of the bunch, this dashing “daphne blue” guitar cable comes in at an incredible 66% off for Prime Day – meaning, instead of paying $34.99, you’re paying just $11.99 for the most aesthetic jack lead you ever did see. That tweed is harder-wearing, too, for better longevity on the road or in your jam room.

GLS Audio brown/yellow braided tweed instrument cable (20ft)
Save 20% ($4.40)
GLS Audio brown/yellow braided tweed instrument cable (20ft): was $21.99 now $17.59 at Amazon

If you want something a little more stage-length, without incurring the commensurate increase in cost, you’ll find a great budget option in GLS Audio. This is a more conventionally-hued tweed guitar cable of 20ft in length, and usually $21.00 all day; as part of the Amazon Prime Day deals, you can snatch a cheap, long-running guitar lead for $17.59 – that’s 20% off.

MXR 6-inch patch cables (3-pack)
Save 23% ($3.04)
MXR 6-inch patch cables (3-pack): was $12.99 now $9.95 at Amazon

Pedalboards are fickle things, whether they’re expanding, shrinking or straight-up failing on you in some way. It’s always good to have some demonstrably high-quality patch leads in your back pocket, whether for foolproof additions or bombproof re-wiring when your soundcheck inevitably gets interrupted by a ‘board that’s stopped playing ball. MXR’s 6in patch leads are comfortingly robust, with thick stress-resistive jackets and some pancake-thin metal ends; a pack of three usually goes for $12.99, but for Prime Day you can have them at 23% off.

Here, for your Prime Day perusal, is a six-pack of Donner’s 12in flat-patch cables, with thin plastic ends for fitting snugly in your tight pedalboard. That extra length is welcome for accommodating pedals with different jack socket locations, too! For Prime Day, they’re 20% off at $16.79 per pack.
