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:

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:

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.

However, I recently started seeing ads for Rattlesnake Cable Company, and I like their look and the fact that they are American made, so I decided to give them a shot. And man am I glad I did! First, the shipping was fast, and the packaging was pretty cool as each cable comes in it's own cloth sack. Second, the quality, look, and sturdiness of the cables were were leaps and bounds above what I was use to. Finally, and most importantly, when I A/B-ed them against my normal cables I was blown away by the improved tone. It was like somebody took a blanket off of my amp! I definitely recommend these cables to any guitarist who is serious about quality and tone.

So GOOOD!! I purchased a 20 foot seafoam gold end beginning of lockdown, and the tonal improvement was literally WIDE EYED WOW! Love the heavy duty, and wayyy quieter (like microphonically much quieter than a fatsoflex even and those were my live "quiet" cord standard). So,during live stage (lour volume) use, I was using a big name $$$ cable. The Rattlesnake Seafoam Snake Head gold ends direct to Mesa Mark 4 (a noisy higher gain amp) dethroned that. Really big difference. Quieter and just overall clearer and better sounding, straight to amp, secret weapon! So I decided to do my whole pedalboard in Mean Green gold ends. The improvement again, in clarity and just bigger overall sound, hard to describe. So much worth the $$$ that I'm measuring out all my fx cables, dozen or so amp sends from my board and any other signal cables flowing through my rig. Mean Green of course. *I'd like to mentions, the turnaround time, was ONE DAY from order to ship!!! NO himmmhawwing or excuses. I emailed an order for 10 custom cables Thursday. An hour or so later Hank had already helped me further refine my order for my board exactly, and it was completed and shipped Friday. Hank also made me a personalized thank you video. Model business. Perfect service. The cables are SO much better than my hodgepodge, spaghetti bowl of mixed "quality brands I won't name. No need. They're all getting sold and like I said, a dozen amp or more cables from board (10-20 footers there), some fx cables, rack cables and some others are on the list to order now. I'd absolutely recommend these wires to anyone looking to upgrade their guitar signal chain. Without hesitation and without buying into internet snakeoil, BUY a Rattlesnake guitar cable and see for starters HOW much better they sound. SO good!! THOUGHTS ABOUT OUR SERVICE: Amazing. Top notch!! I'll also give a shout in facebook and ig! WHAT WAS PURCHASED: 20' Standard in Retro Sea Foam with Neutrik Right Angle Gold to Neutrik Straight Gold Snake heads Pedalboard order: 10 cables, 5 different sizes
