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.

Testimonial:

We had a slight issue with delivery because I used the wrong direction code. I contacted Rattlesnake late on Christmas Day and to my surprise Amy got right back to me! The package was rejected by the post office, went back to Rattlesnake, they fixed my error and sent it right back to me. When I opened the box there was a personalized note to me on the inside of the box. I really appreciate the small business feel of this company and will happily purchase again!

What Katie S. Said...

Testimonial:

I love this company and now i know why my husband buys gear here. He had this special coiled guitar cable on his Christmas list that's perfect for his studio. He's been wanting it all year and i knew i just had to order it. It was only 5 days to Christmas and it hadn't arrived. We think it might have been delivered to a neighbor by mistake, but we couldn't locate it. I emailed rattlesnake to see if there was anything they could do to help me either track it down or to place a new order quickly, if it was even possible to get here in time. Within 20 minutes my phone rang, i believe it was the owner Amy, calling to tell me she was packing up a new order to expedite ship to get it to us before Christmas. I was amazed and so grateful for this save. What an amazing committment to your people, your family. Thank you, Amy and everyone at Rattlesnake. I hope you have blessed holiday filled with joy, love and music

Coil cable is well made. The Speaker cable made a difference on head/cabinet - yes I was using an instrument cable and had no idea about the speaker cable for years....
