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.- Capacitance at 35-39pF/ft @ 25'

I have purchased four cables from Rattlesnake, and all have been solidly built and good looking. I play and record at home for the most part and the cables are nice to work with. I highly recommend them.

I received my cable just a few weeks ago and I've already ran it through the wringer - club gigs, theater gigs, dancehall gigs, and outside gigs. And man, it does not disappoint. First off, it looks cool as all get out. But even slightly more important, it sounds great. Clear signal, no hum, very... Read

Discovered Rattlesnake Cables when searching Internet for a Ric-O-Sound splitter to upgrade cheap-o Y splitter, also had them build me a Snakehead TRS cable with a 90° end to connect to my bass, I am impressed the strong effort in their ability to process the order rapidly, received the order in less than 72 hours from Missoula to Atlanta, exceptional quality product so I placed an 2nd order to upgrade my speaker cable on my Trinity B15 clone to Ampeg 2×10 cabinet, also ordered a Snakehead Rattlesnake weave 15' guitar cable with 90° end to replace my aging cable, same result with receiving order almost sooner than possible, I have always purchased quality cables from independent music stores but unfortunately for them Hank and his Rattlesnake Cable company now have any of my future business, these will likely last me a long time so I gotta recommend purchasing from them to keep them busy

First off, it looks cool as all get out. But even slightly more important, it sounds great. Clear signal, no hum, very transparent. Exactly how a cable should be. The build quality is top-notch too. And the customer service is beyond fantastic. Rattlesnake Cables all the way from here on out. Thanks Hank and team
