Maybe 25 ft or so. Use the lowest capacitance cable you can find.

One way to pick a cable is to plug it into the amp without a guitar and
turning up the volume. Hold the plug shell and slap the cable on the
ground. If it makes a lot of noise try another cable. The quieter the
cable the better.

However, if the guitar has a built-in pre-amp (or a little add-on) then
it can drive much longer cables even cheap noisy types without affecting
the sound.
