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.

Brad B. - The Rick-O-Sound package from Rattlesnake Cable is the best solution for my 2010 4003 that I have found. Flimsy Y cables are unreliable even for a hobbyist such as myself. Worth the price if you are committed to the Ric 4003 as I am.

Family-Owned Business
Rattlesnake Cable Company started with a simple idea by me - Hank. It quickly encapsulated my entire family, from my kids to my wife, Amy. Now, Amy and I are 100% committed to the success of the business and love that it has grown into a fantastic team moving forward.
We Are Musicians
We are musicians. What does that mean? We know what it feels like when gear fails on stage. We hate that feeling, and we think about that with every build. As musicians, we also know how hard the road can be on gear and focus on making it stand the abuse.
U.S. Milled Custom Cable
We take great pride that our custom instrument, XLR, and speaker cables are milled in the United States. All of our milled cables are built to our specifications here in the states and then soldered by hand in Missoula, Montana, by our great team!

I don't recall how I happened upon Rattlesnake Cable Company, or how they happened upon me, but I'm glad we connected in either case. I've purchased a 20' TRS Snake Head in Black Widow, a 10' TRS Snake Head in Copper cables for my Rickenbacker 4003, two 10" standard TS's (Mean Green/Red) for... Read

Seriously well built products. The housings are nice and hefty, and the signature rattlesnake wrap is concealed inside a nice shrink wrap that encloses the housing as well, ensuring no exposure to the elements! They also make custom cables, and buffers and junction boxes as well. These guys are the... Read

Great, strong, overbuilt, beautiful guitar cables. The snakehead model has a soft length close to the instrument so as not to damage the finish. Service and shipping are top tier and the best experience to purchase from Hank and the team. Pricey, but worth it.

I've purchased a 20' TRS Snake Head in Black Widow, a 10' TRS Snake Head in Copper cables for my Rickenbacker 4003, two 10" standard TS's (Mean Green/Red) for Send/Receive on my amp, an 8", 12", and a bundle of 6" Flex Patch cables for my board, and a pick tin...so far. I've been playing since 1965. Over the years I've probably bought enough gear to fill a shipping container, including some incredibly expensive cables. My experience is that Rattlesnake cables are far superior to any I've ever owned. They're ruggedly and expertly built using the highest quality components, tough as nails, sonically superior to any cable I've owned, and they look great! The colors also make it easy to know what's going, or coming from where. Buy 'em! The customer service provided by Hank & company is over-the-top outstanding!

They also make custom cables, and buffers and junction boxes as well. These guys are the real deal, very versatile, and a perfect upgrade for any pro sound gear.
