Meter for measuring cable capacitance


Hello! I looking for a recommendation for a suitable capacitance meter. I own a Fluke 117 and although it has settings to measure capacitance, it doesn’t read cable(guitar cable) capacitance. Just reads “1” regardless of cable length. Not sure if this is because it doesn’t have a pico farad setting. Not sure. 
 

Thanks in advance!

       One nice thing about Amazon: if it doesn't work for you, whatever the reason, you can return it.                                    

   Here's a cheapo that goes down to .1 pF:

    At the other end of the $$ spectrum: this will go down to nF and can vary frequencies.

     Hurry though, as that one will be discontinued in December.     😉
