This is an excellent mic cable made by Canare specifically for balanced audio 
connection.  It utilizes four inner conductors that are woven around each 
other and used in pairs.  This configuration provides optimal noise 
cancellation when used with differential inputs.  I can't imagine it 
providing any problems when used as a guitar cable, although ANY extremely 
long cable will provide high-frequency rolloff when used with high-impedance 
instruments pickups.  Shouldn't sound any different than another cable of the 
same length.
