Our Retro Coily Cable - which we feel is the best coily cable on the market. Over the years, we have been asked many times, "When are you going to put out a coily cable?" Well, the time is now! We worked with our US-based cable mill to manufacture these great-looking matte PVC guitar coily cables. These coiled cables are designed to provide that "vintage" style tone - slightly darker but not too dark. These are all 25' long (the length of cable before the coiling process) and 45" (4 feet) retracted.

All of our Coily Cables come with our pro-grade Neutrik Plugs in either nickel or upgraded gold finish. These are designed to have an amazing retro look while maintaining durability and signal quality!

What's the point of coiled cables?
Coily guitar and instrument cables are designed to address a few factors
- Eliminating bunched-up cable at the player's feet. Typically, long straight cables would bunch up. Now you can have basically the equivalent of 25' and have it retract and extend as you move around.
- With coily cables, you can purposely shave off some high-end harshness by adding a little capacitance to the signal chain
- Dare I say - they look very cool. If you're looking for a particular stage "vibe", this might be the cable for you!
Do coiled cables affect tone?
Yes, the longer lengths do add capacitance, which can make the signal darker. However, artists such as Reeves Gabrels (Bowie/The Cure) and Jimi Hendrix used this as part of their magic-tone sauce.
Is it bad to fully stretch a coily cable?
Yes, you do not want to stretch the cable to the max. That can stretch out the coils and may retract less. Likewise, do not hang your cables on a cable rack, etc.

What Dan W. Said...


Testimonial:

Custom hand made in the USA to your spec's, their own USA milled copper conductors, your choice of length / jacks / colors / coverings. Superior tone / sound quality. Like having an audio engineer in your gig bag cuz its Hanks own engineering & design. Hank set out to build the best cable because he couldn't find what he wanted. He suceeded. Look no further. I run older analog pedals & vacuum tube amps, cheaper cables color my sound, loaded up impedance & darkened my tone with or w/o buffers. Free flowing signals is where its at with good copper conductors & proper sheilding when needed. Im hearing the amps & pedals at their full potential at last. I retired my wireless. Say goodbye to cheap-ass cables forever. Get sum -

Thoughts about our Service:

Blown away. 100% amazing.

What was purchased:

3 x 25' standard cables

Testimonial:

Let me start with, these are freakin the Best Cables I have ever owned. The Snakehead not only sounds great, but it's indestructible. I've been using this cable to run my pedalboard to the amp and the white Coily Cord as my main guitar cord. Don't know what it is, but my sound w/the Coily cord just sounds tighter! The other day my grandson stepped on the straight end coming out the pedalboard, unfortunately the jack was bent and broke the buffer bay input. The cable still worked, but I needed to have it fix. I emailed Hank, he quickly responded to send it back. As soon as he received it 3 days later - he repaired it and shipped back the same day. I also had him replace the straight jack with the right angle. Now that's killer customer service! Thanks Hank

Thoughts about our Service:

What Perry D. Said...


Testimonial:

Rattlesnake coils. How could you go wrong? I have always loved vintage coiled cables. Unfortunately, they are not made very well for the most part. The Rattlesnake coils are unbelievable. I can't believe how much they weigh. And you can tell the wire is great quality and will last a really long time. I play mostly at home and while moving around to program tones and presets in my pedalboard, regular cables always seem to get in the way. They get caught on things and get tangled. These coils are strong and bounce back from 10' or more nicely. I got one in green and one in red. The connectors are solid and strong too. The quality of the sound from my guitar is exponentially better than just about all my other cables and I have at least one that cost more than these. They are obviously the same quality as my other 2 Rattlesnake cables but they put all the others to shame.

Thoughts about our Service:

These days, presentation is everything because quality is usually lacking drastically. But this company takes it's work seriously and makes sure you not only make a purchase that you will enjoy and use, but have an experience when you open the box. You can tell the care that goes into ever order. Your items are neatly packed in burlap pouches and meticulously arranged and presented so that when you open it, you feel like you just bought a new sports car or something. The personalized thank you note is a classy move and lets you know you're not just a number. And most of all, the product is great and comparably priced to other inferior cables. Whenever I need new cables, I visit rattlesnakecables.com because I know I am getting the best bang for my buck and Hank loves what he does. All the best, Hank,

What was purchased:

I have purchased 2 standard cables, one in snakeskin and one in sage. Both are so well-made and strong. The sound clarity is amazing. I just purchased 2 coiled cables and a pick tin with my initials on it.

A fellow musician on my church worship team has several Rattlesnake cables and referred me to check out the website. I had admired the uniqueness and quality of his cables so I took a look and was very impressed. Not long afterward, I ordered the Snakehead 10 ft. cable in blue which is a stunning color. Hank sent me emails thanking me for my order, giving me an update on the status and made a personalized YouTube video as well. I thought that was a very cool, personal touch for customers. You will immediately appreciate the beauty and quality of these cables from the cable skin to the plug wrappings. I like the black on mine because I tend to loop the cable around my strap without worrying about the cable rubbing against my bass guitar's finish. I have recommended the Rattlesnake company to my fellow musicians and will definitely order more cables from Hank in the near future.
