His stuff has been top notch. I've had to go with Hosea cables to fill in the gaps. Good quality stuff and moderately priced. Picked up a 6 pack of mixed length patch cables for around 25 shipped. Invest in good cables, not just the instrument to the first pedal cable, but all cables! If not, you'll be hated by the rest of the band for cheaping out on your two dollar patch cables that only work when fiddled with between songs.

I've never used a Planet Waves.. might look into that for new cable. Thanks Jeff! I think buying anything in the $30-$50 range for 15′ to 20′ cable is a good investment and a quality cable.

I didn't think much of it at the time (ironically for my stereo system I only buy high end cables... not sure why I didn't apply that to the guitar) However, recently I noticed a lot of static coming out of my amp. I thought it was a bad jack on the amp. But just in case last week I went and bought a new cable... a good one this time... and sure enough, the static is gone. I wanted to buy a Monster Cable, but they were out of the 15-20 footers. I ended up with a Planet Waves cable that was $40 for a 15 footer. So far so good. It is so much more sturdy than the crappy one I had before.
