Save on Ash Snake Head Cables

This is a great color. It's another weave that has different looks depending on the lighting. Darker than our Dirty Tweed. Different than the Sage. It's on the grey side of things but with hints of brown/tan.

"Snake Head" as we like to call them is a cable with the weaving stopping short on the instrument side of the cable. This leaves a portion of raw cable touching your finish. Perfect when running a cable between the strap and instrument body.

We will be offering this for a limited time or until we run out of weave.

Conductor/Shield 99.95% OFBC. Capacitance at 20-25pF/ft. Braided copper shield (95% coverage). 20AWG conductor. Cable milled in the United States.

What about warranty? - Lifetime warranty baby!

Answer
A Snake Head is a cable that has the outer weaving stop short on the instrument side of the cable. This is a cosmetic feature, especially nice if you have vintage or sensitive finishes and you're concerned about the weaving causing wear on the instrument if you run the cable between the strap and instrument body.
Answer
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.
Answer
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.
Answer
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.
Answer
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.
Answer
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.
Answer
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.
Answer
The weave is a poly-weave, meaning it's a plastic polymer-based weave. We use a variety of brands, but primarily TechFlex. It's designed to be heat and abrasion resistant. It is not a cloth/fabric weave, which tends to fray and stain easily.

They come neatly packaged with a lot of care and heart that goes into the product including handwritten notes thanking you for your purchase and support. The cables are unique,distinctive,of the best quality, zero noise or interference, dependable, and best of all look great with the logos on the ends of the cables letting everyone know you are Rattlesnake Cables official! Since using them i am making the switch to use RCC Cables exclusively! Customer and Artist service is top notch. Hank (owner /creator )at RCC answered all of my emails , professionally, quickly and promptly. I had inquired about artist relations and endorsements and was not turned down or neglected. Answered all questions about the product and delivered exactly what I needed. 10/10 ????????????

Quick story: My new puppy tried to chew a Rattlesnake braided cable, not getting very far, but rendering it useless. Was going to try and splice it due to its value, but instead I sent Hank an email. He not only replaced the cable with a brand new one over a year after I bought it, he even sent doggie chew treats in the box! Are you kidding? Who does this? Top quality gear, best service on the planet, it's Rattlesnake Cable Company, proudly made in USA too.
