I prefer straight cables on my strats but Ovation/Applause have the plug in the middle of the back so you need some angled plug unless you want to stab yourself. Fender basses also have the plug on the top. Given I don't feel like replugging cables for each instrument, I just use a cable with a straight plug and this adapter.
It feels solid, it plugs in nicely both into the instrument and the cables, no wobbles and the sound is just perfect. It could be a tad shorter but most of the combined length is due to the straight plug, so pick something with as short of a plug if possible if it bothers you.
