I need to know the easiest and cheapest way to get my guitar hooked up to my 12" PB, I know the monster cable apple sells is 19.99 and I would buy it but I keep hearing how people find much cheaper alternatives, also if possible I would prefer if the feed into my powerbook was stereo (monster cable apple sells is mono). Any kind of help is appreciated, Thanks in advance.

Go to Radio Shack or any other electronics store and pick up an adaptor. They're not uncommon.

Why would you want stereo? Your guitar puts out a mono signal. That doesn't mean it'll come out of just one speaker.

Thanks for the info, I was wondering if I could use any 1/4 to 1/8 adapter or is there a certain one for input and a certain one for output?
