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.

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.

Best cable company you’ll ever find; and I don’t even have any cables of their yet! I was so impressed with the quality and customer service that came with my TRS to TS TS splitter that I’m waiting for my current cables to die so I can get some from Rattlesnake! When you compare the quality I don’t think it’ll take very long… These guys are a 5 star company for a reason and I’m a customer for life!
