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:

Recently, I ordered a black retro Coily Cable on a Sunday, and since I live in Missoula, where Rattlesnake Cables are made, I chose local pickup and expected to get in the next day or two.. But no. I got an email telling me my order was ready to pick up within an hour, so I drove over to Hank's store that afternoon and grabbed my awesome new cable, which was discounted as I applied the 20% off Independence Day sale code for a nice discount too. I liked his T-shirt so much I bought one of those too! To top it off, he also applied 20% off on my impulse buy T-shirt purchase. But now I have only one problem: I think I need to get a white Coily Cable too, to match my white amp and the white pickguards, and I think I'm gonna need a black guitar to coordinate with my incredibly cool and durable black Coily Cable, which is built to the highest standards and complements my rig wonderfully! I certainly plan to pick up some more Rattlesnake products and highly recommend them.

Thoughts about our Service:

Rattlesnake Cable's customer service was awesome, since I picked up my purchase on a Sunday within an hour of placing my order, and my visit to the brick-and-mortar shop was quite welcoming on a day I wasn't even expecting them to be there!

What was purchased:

A Black Retro Coily Cable and a Classic Rattlesnake T Shirt.

What Dylan T. Said...


Testimonial:

24 years on the fretboard and 19 years of battle-worn history on my flipped Strat means I don't tolerate weak links in my gear. The craftsmanship on this Rattlesnake cable is pure elite standard. Heavy-duty shielding, bulletproof jack joints, and zero physical memory when you unravel it on the floor. It handles heavy pick-hand attack and constant tuning shifts without introducing a single speck of line noise. If you want a masterfully handcrafted cable built by real players, this is the definitive frontline weapon. Could literally feel the difference in tone ! I wouldn't just recommend Rattlesnake cables, I stand by them 110%. Better than any cable I've ever used in my life(and I've been through a lot trust me). Major shout out and thanks to Hank and Amy and the crew! I'm absolutely proud and stoked to be part of team and carrying the wire up here in BC Canada ! ??????????????????

Thoughts about our Service:

Top tier on every level, any questions or concerns are taken extremely seriously and with utmost urgency.

What Have I Been Missing? My goodness, Rattlesnake Cables? Bulletproof, well designed and built, much higher quality than I have ever experienced in my 40+ year musical endeavors! I never gave much of a thought to cables, they're just "connections", right? WRONG! After using these for a full weekend of cable abuse, these are head and shoulders above the rest. Well done, Rattlesnake Cable Team, you make a magnificient cable (coiled and straight)! I am now a Rattlesnake Cable ONLY cutomer, thank you so much again!

Retro Coiley Cable

What Dan W. Said...


Testimonial:

Custom hand made in the USA to your spec's, their own USA milled copper conductors, your choice of length / jacks / colors / coverings. Superior tone / sound quality. Like having an audio engineer in your gig bag cuz its Hanks own engineering & design. Hank set out to build the best cable because he couldn't find what he wanted. He suceeded. Look no further. I run older analog pedals & vacuum tube amps, cheaper cables color my sound, loaded up impedance & darkened my tone with or w/o buffers. Free flowing signals is where its at with good copper conductors & proper sheilding when needed. Im hearing the amps & pedals at their full potential at last. I retired my wireless. Say goodbye to cheap-ass cables forever. Get sum -

Thoughts about our Service:

Blown away. 100% amazing.

What was purchased:

3 x 25' standard cables
3x guitar speaker cables
1x 20' instrument cable
1x retro coily in red
