The Rattlesnake Standard Instrument Cable comes in 10', 15' and 20' lengths. Each cable can have straight, right angle or a mix of Neutrik Nickel plugs (Neutrik Golds are also available). Colors include red, black, sage, dirty tweed, blue, copper and mean green. Each cable is fully wrapped in heat and abrasion resistant outer sleeving from plug end to plug end.
Our Standard Instrument Cable is a great cable to run between your pedalboard and amp, or between your guitar / bass and pedalboard or amp. If you're concerned about the finish of your instrument, take a look at our Snake Head Instrument cable!
No, our cables are not directional. If you're purchasing a Snake Head, the Snake Head portion should be on the instrument side, but that only is cosmetic. The cable will work fine if plugged in any direction.
The Snake Head is only needed if you're concerned about finish wear if you have vintage or sensitive finishes like thin nitro, etc. If you don't care (or even want the wear) a Standard is great for the primary instrument cable. If this cable is going from pedalboard to amp, then it should be a Standard to ensure maximum protection of the cable.
A silent plug is not necessarily an "upgrade". Typically, a silent plug is for acoustic players who do not have the ability to mute their signal and would unplug their instrument. If you're an electric player with a Tuner or Volume pedal, then you don't really need a silent plug. Silent plugs are great, but they do provide another potential point of failure - so I always recommend, if you don't need the feature, purchase a standard plug.
Some of our customers swear by gold contacts. Some of our customers can't hear a difference. Gold does provide a better contact surface, but the signal improvement may be hard to notice. Some of our customers (including myself) just like the cosmetic look of the black shells with gold contacts. If you're in a humid climate and deal with corrosion, gold might be better for you as well.
When people read that, the first assumption is that the copper is somehow 'air tight'. Nope. OFBC is part of the smelting process where the oxygen molecules are smelted out or removed to a point where it's below .001%. This makes a very pure copper allowing for great conductivity.
We have a variety of wire mills that we work with. All of the wire mills we work with our in the United States. We take extreme pride that our cable is milled in the United States and hand assembled here in Missoula, Montana.
Jeffrey A. - I was able to purchase solid cables with 90 degree bends on both ends. My pedalboard is tight so I need the bend on both ends. To top it off they had a run of purple on offer at the right time for me. My main instrument is a purple MM Stingray. Read More

The first thing that got my attention was the packing very impressive once I open the tin I found a hand written note thanking me for the purchase. Besides the metal tin the cable comes in a white cloth bag that looks good plug in the cable to a mesa mark 5 25 and a 59 thin skin Strat I noticed a lot less noise coming from the amp even in higher gain settings. The cable is very well made and easy on the eyes to look at. Will continue to purchase will be my go to cables.

GET A RATTLESNAKE! THEY DON’T BITE!
After years of getting what I considered some of the best guitars and amps I realized that what I had in the way of cables was, well basically junk. Luckily I discovered Rattlesnake Cables. In addition to being a visual treat, colors and patterns, the great “snakehead “ concept to protect your guitar finish, the cables provided a solid, stable connection. Gone were the snaps and crackles of thin, poorly soldered connections and loose jacks.
Acoustic, electric, tube amp and solid state all sounded better to me and provided confidence in my equipment. I replace my head to cab cable with a Rattlesnake cable made specifically for that application, again no more concerns about connections. I am working on replacing pedalboard jumpers with Rattlesnake connections. Multiple lengths available to solve board design issues.
These folks are nice to work with. Packaging is well though out, a nice cable tie include, a cable bag and cool sticker. The hand written thank you note on a small pad, to me, exemplifies their commitment to customer service. It’s a small American company that does things right. Cool T-shirts too!
