Retro Coily Cable

We are excited to introduce 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.

Mike B. - Rattlesnake Cables are very high quality, and exceeded my expectations in performance and functionality. The Retro Coil Cable is the perfect length, and is unobtrusive both in it's stretchiness and the length of the non-coiled ends. 10/10.

Kevin D. - Solidly built cable. Coily cables are perfect for small stage situations such as a small church. Plus, I think they look cool and since I play a Fender Bass VI and a Strat, if some highs are rounded off, all the better.

Testimonial:

I am very happy with my new cables. The build quality is excellent, including very low capacitance. The capacitance is as low as the best cables on the market. The rubber housing around the jacks really protect the cable in live settings. I would put these cables up against anything in the market. For the price, they are a great deal. And they are made by a great small business with nice people.

Testimonial:

Rattlesnake has no peer in the industry, they make the finest cables. Period. On top of that, Hank is an amazingly nice dude, and his cables are the best I've ever used in my entire life. The combination of feeling fantastic about my high performance, professional-grade gear, and feeling good about supporting a really nice and genuine dude who really cares about the customer, has made this a wonderful experience, and me a lifelong customer. Thank you so much for the hard work you do, Hank, to support musicians that truly care about their equipment and understand that if you feel badly about your equipment, you play badly. Rattlesnake makes me a better bassist. You are a legend, Hank, truly. I'll support you and your wonderful business as much and for as long as I can!

Thoughts about our Service:

Incredible. Hank sent me a personal message thanking me for my purchase and it meant a lot to me. I look forward to supporting rattlesnake as much as they support me for the rest of my career, I'm finished with bad cables it's only Rattlesnake for me for now on!

What Brian K. Said...


Testimonial:

Both the snakehead and retro curly cables are great. Quality feel, great fidelity. The retro curly really surprised me. It's heavy, in a good way, and it is super stretchy. I was worried that it would pull stuff off my amp or put a lot of stress on either end, but I can walk around all over and this thing stretches so easily. It goes back to shape no problems and doesn't get wound up like an old phone cord either. I'd buy again in a heartbeat.

Thoughts about our Service:

Fantastic. Easy to order quick shipment on a custom product. Lots of contact throughout the process.

What was purchased:

Retro curly and 10' snakehead instrument cable.

These cables are worth every penny! Sure you can go find a cheapo one on Amazon, but you get what you pay for. After a couple years of gigging with them, they still look as good as the day I got them! 10/10 would very highly recommend!

This company is one of the finest businesses I've ever dealt with. I ordered cables, all styles, and a splitter box, and the quality & performance of this gear is unmatched by anyone, and I've seen and used it all in 40+ years of playing.

I purchased 2 guitar cables from a local music store a few weeks back. The clerk said that t"these cables would last a lifetime" OK i figured. They are from a well known manufacturer. They look good. They feel sturdy. go ahead. Only after getting them home and plugging in do I see their made in china. Then come the buzz. not the amp hum, but a buzz that won't go away. Now I start looking for American made Guitar cables. and I find Rattlesnake cables in Missoula Montana. A small, local (to Montana), business. I placed my order on Friday afternoon and for a response within the hour that the order was received. then Cables being assembled, then shipped ! I had 3 cables in hand the following Monday (p.s. I'm in North Jersey). They look better, feel better and best of all NO BUZZ. I will not hesitate next time I need to replace a cable. Hank & his crew at Rattlesnake and a pleasure to do business with. Prices are fair and competitive to other manufacturers. Best of all an AMERICAN MANUFACTURER! Need a cable? BUY AMERICAN BUY LOCAL BUY RATTLESNAKE CABLES Regards, Ed
