I'm a guitar player and my knowledge about connectors and stuff is very disappointing. I use a wireless device to play live and the cable I use to plug the guitar is a Jack to mini XLR (3 pin) cable, such as this:

However, the quality of this cable is dreadfull as it is a lowcost cable. So I was searching for a better one and saw this one:

The problem is this XLR connector is a 4 pinned one.

So here goes my question:

Will it make any difference if I plug a 4 pinned XLR instead of a 3 pinned one, as the extra pin will not be plugged anywhere?

What I think is, since the jack is 2 pinned the 3rd and 4th pin would not be used anyway.

I hope everything is clear to you, thanks!

Thanks, after reading all your quick responses I've decided that the way to go would be to make my own cable out of connectors and wire.
