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.

What was purchased:

TRS to Mono Splitter, TRS Snake Head cable

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!

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.

The Rattlesnake Cable Company has been great. You can order cables of custom lengths. There are many really cool colors that are available, and I bought some purple ones that were a special limited color. The cables are sturdy and extremely well-made. The overall sound of my rig reflects the quality... Read
