Where can I find George L's cable kit?

Thanks Shredcow 
Well, I've heard that some have difficulty putting them together due to the solderless design. I've read users' reviews on them and like always, there are always people who'd love/hate them *lol* Anything I need to take note of? Frankly, I'm looking out for 3 things: small head, ability to customise my own length, and of course, sound quality.
I've considered Planet Waves' cable kit as well but their right-angle heads are pretty huge :/ Canare cables seem to receive rave reviews but I don't think I have the option to customise the lengths...

You gotta look out for durability too... that would be my 1st and foremost concern when purchasing cables...
I mean - we are musicians right? We wanna plug in and just PLAY. Not have crackling, buzzing, no output lah... then gotta squat down fiddle fiddle, while the band has to wait for you, enduring your crackling and popping... so! Durability.
For G Ls, even when soldered on, the way the plug head screws onto the solder joint - that could be a source of problems.

But I'm referring to the solderless George Ls patch cables like these:
While I agree that durability is very important, they won't be fiddled with constantly on my pedal. And should the connection turn bad, they advertised that you can always trim the ends and reconnect to the plug heads again without any problem. One big factor that got me to consider them is the customisable length due to the way I arrange my pedals.
Any other recommendations?

i'm using the solderless version as well- no issues since day 1. both G77 & Davis carry this brand.

if you get a good one, it's noise-free + let's your tone through clearly. as mentioned by others, there are some lame ones out there...
Yeah, I guess there'll always be some black sheeps even in the same brand(s) that'd ruin the experiences of using the product : /
Since we're on the topic of cables, anyone has other recommendations for customisable patch cables other than George L and Planet Waves? I think this is one of the main reasons I'm considering them.

Hmm.
Elias, you can always go to Luthermusic and get the type of patch cables which they offer. However, I did have an issue with one of their cables, but it's nothing a re-solder would not solve.
I'm currently on the DIY route so that I can customise my own cable lengths.

personally i wouldnt reccomend George Ls .. for that price id expect it to work FLAWLESSLY. it looks good. but i dont have faith in em.
my george Ls somehow got problem. have to keep taking it out.. putting back and tightening the screw. damn troublesome la... had a few jams with these cables and finally decided to go back to my canare with neutrik heads.
NOW thats tough and good instrument cables.

Interesting I'm glad you guys contribute your share of experiences with the cables. I've heard good stuff about the Canare cables but the only thing that held me back was the lack of customisation (unless Luther can cater to my needs and let me buy them according to my requirements).
Comeon! Pour out all your rants on cables and all :lol:

true, they're expensive. They work fine for me so far tho. What I don't like so much abt them is that they're messier, as compared to flathead canare patch cables from misse. I can't seem to control em. Maybe I should just cut em cables real short to try.
I find the sleeves sexy. haha.
