We are offering a limited run of our Lime Green Snake Heads! We're so excited about this new exclusive/limited weave that is available.
"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.
Additionally, you can purchase this cable with White or Black tubes. They come standard with White tubes.
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.
Jacob L. - The quality is there from the moment you open the box, and the customer service is every bit as awesome as the cables. Proud to be part of the Rattlesnake family. —Jacob Lystra Bassist – Graveshadow & Emerald Python

I purchased 2 guitar cables from a local music store a few weeks back. The clerk said that t"these cables would last a lifetime" OK i figured. They are from a well known manufacturer. They look good. They feel sturdy. go ahead. Only after getting them home and plugging in do I see their made in china. Then come the buzz. not the amp hum, but a buzz that won't go away. Now I start looking for American made Guitar cables. and I find Rattlesnake cables in Missoula Montana. A small, local (to Montana), business. I placed my order on Friday afternoon and for a response within the hour that the order was received. then Cables being assembled, then shipped ! I had 3 cables in hand the following Monday (p.s. I'm in North Jersey). They look better, feel better and best of all NO BUZZ. I will not hesitate next time I need to replace a cable. Hank & his crew at Rattlesnake and a pleasure to do business with. Prices are fair and competitive to other manufacturers. Best of all an AMERICAN MANUFACTURER! Need a cable? BUY AMERICAN BUY LOCAL BUY RATTLESNAKE CABLES Regards, Ed

A couple hours later, I received confirmation that my cable had shipped! It arrive nicely packaged with some bonuses in the box! I’ll never use another cable for instruments, mics, or patches. I’m a rattler for life!
