IMPORTANT: This is a Stereo / TRS / Balanced Cable

If you're wanting a mono instrument Snake Head, please go here

"Snake Head," as we like to call them, is a cable with the heat and abrasion-resistant sleeving stopping short at the end connecting to the instrument. This technique leaves a portion of raw cable touching the instrument, perfect for wrapping around guitar straps. Our TRS (Stereo / Balanced) Snake Head Instrument Cables come in 10', 15', and 20' lengths. Each cable can have a straight, right angle or a mix of TRS Neutrik Gold plugs - be sure to select the proper plug style connecting to the instrument.

Snake Heads are ideal for connecting your instrument to a pedalboard or directly to the amp. Suppose you're looking for a cable connecting from pedalboard to amp. In that case, we recommend our Standard Instrument Cable - where the weaving fully covers the cable from plug end to plug end.

Our TRS Snake Head is ideal for Rick-O-Sound setups or guitars that have a stereo output jack for Piezo/Magnetic pickup combinations. Please be aware that this is a Balanced or Stereo cable. If you're looking for an unbalanced mono Snake Head, please view our Snake Head Instrument Cable.

What Tom T. Said...

Testimonial:

Without a doubt the best most well built instrument chord I have ever owned.

Thoughts about our Service:

I have owned a Rickenbacker 360 Red Fireglow guitar since 2008 and had used a V cable to connect amps. This included using cable connecters to be able to reach the amps in my studio. I was always experiencing crackling noise or one amp cutting out while playing. Since buying Rattlesnake TRS bundle I no longer have connection issues and I am finally experiencing the true stereo sound that Rickenbacker's are famous for. Hank was wonderful to deal with and made my day with his help and knowledge. This product is the REAL DEAL!

What was purchased:

I purchased a 15' TRS chord with gold tips, one angle and one straight. TRS Splitter

What Scott S. Said...

Testimonial:

What a great small company!!!!! I just received the items I ordered and had the opportunity to unbox and test them out last night. Needless to say, I didn't get to bed on time. This was my first opportunity to test the Rickenbacker trademark Rick-O-Sound feature on my new 360 and I could not be happier. The TRS to Mono Splitter is brilliant. The accompanying TRS Snake Head cable I purchased separately is equally awesome. This is a company I will now purchase cables from exclusively. Order from them and you will see why - over the top customer service, bombproof and super cool packaging, "heirloom quality" cables that provide the sound I have been searching for 40+ years.

Thoughts about our Service:

Unreal customer service. Personal thank you from the team written on the packaging as well as time made to send a short video "thank you" as well. Great company all around.

Eric P. - The most Professional and efficient shopping experience I've ever had. The quality of the cables is second to none! The way in which they are packaged with such attention to detail, using unique materials, I knew before I even held the cable that it was premier quality.
