Aesthetically great, practically, maybe not so much.
I used this cable to rewire a guitar (strat) that was having its pots and switch gear replaced. I thought it would be fun to use some old school style cable.
Well, it is exactly what it claims to be, and if you like that retro look, you won't be disappointed. (My subjective opinion) It does indeed look very cool.
Beyond the looks:
+ The cable holds its shape if you bend it, which makes it very easy to get very neat cabling. (Its also multi-core).
- I found the cable extremely hard to strip, either with decent cable strippers.
- If you are wiring a guitar, probably no one other than you will ever see the cable anyway.
- It's relatively expensive compared to other kinds of cables, but I doubt the price of a couple of meters will offend anyone.
So, if you're fixing up a single guitar, you like the retro style, and you appreciate an job well done even if you can't see it, then I can certainly recommend this product.
P.S. It only differs from other cables by the material used for the insulating sheath - it's not going to bestow any magical vintage mojo on your tone.

Suitable even for a beginner solderer
I'm a novice when it comes to soldering but this cable was a godsend to me. There was enough included for me to make mistakes and redo a few connections, and the cloth shielding kept my terrible work somewhat neat and tidy. Nice!

Good quality but a bit pricey
Used this cable to rewire a t-style guitar. Changed 3-way to 4-way so needed to do some extra wiring. Decided to use some old school style cable for some reason. It is exactly what it claims to be, and if you like that retro look, you won't be disappointed. But the price for the 1m cable is a bit to much. And it is a bit thinner than I expected it to be
Pros and cons:
- a bit thinner than I expected it to be (as gauge is not stated)
- a bit hard to strip
- a bit pricey
+ holds the shape well
+ easy to work with
+ great look and feel

Robust and reliable
I prefer this cable for my DIY projects, whether guitar pickup wiring or fx pedals.
Why? It has a good stiffness allowing routing away from other signal carrying lines (minimising crosstalk or capacitance to ground). It's easy to solder and provides a good conductive path. The cloth covering has a low dielectric constant and loss tangent that are constant with audio frequency (like teflon but unlike PVC).
So in summary and without too much cork sniffing it does the job well, and reliably. Did I write too much about a piece of wire? :)

Great wire, both black and white. Strong and easy to solder. Cloth wire is perfectly flexible. Ideal for vintage-inspired builds or upgrades.

Good wire
I do a lot of work on guitars. This is really good wire for soldering. Good for extending wires on pickups. I still can’t figure out why people cut pickup wires too short when changing them out.
This wire is cheap and cheerful.
Good quality, good price

Thomann should change the picture for this product
Great vintage cloth wire, but you need to read the desription to know that this one is actually black and not white as in the picture...

isolated and doesn't burn
It is really good when you are not very experienced, this don't burn and remain isolated always. Make the job easier no doubt
