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 received my Rattlesnake cables recently, and immediately used one for a gig. The cable performed flawlessly, and looks amazing. I got the curly/coil style, which looks awesome on stage, and also provides plenty of range to move around the stage without binding me up. I purchased black and white and used the white, which looks great with my Les Paul with double white pickups and white pickguard. I highly recommend these cables.

Thoughts about our Service:

I haven't used customer service

What was purchased:

Black and white coil/curly cables in 25 foot length I believe

What Dan W. Said...


Testimonial:

50 yrs playing guitar. Ive been on a wireless last 15 yrs. Purchased the RCC Retro coily in red. Would like to say i pulled my wireless off my board and im back to cable full time. Better frequency response. Its everything you want in guitar sound. everything is much more crisp. Better high & mids w/o being shrill. Made my wah come to life more than it was. I will miss the freedom of a wireless but the improvement in tone is a no brainer. Night & day and i have a good wireless.

Thoughts about our Service:

Hank & staff were incredibly gracious to me. Fast prompt shipping. Couldn't ask for more. Will use again for sure.

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!
