Mike S. - I've been using Rattlesnake cables now for about 6 months for my pedal steel rig and they have made a considerable difference in the clarity of the sound of my instrument and amplifier. The quality of the cables is top notch, and everything is sturdy and built to last. If you're serious about music, invest in high quality cables and support a business in the USA.

Jimi P. - Many years ago now I met Hank Donovan on the guitar forums on Farcebook. he was always an ace dude, and when I found out about his product, I was intrigued. As a professional musician, I really wanted to check it out, but the higher price kept me at bay... a false economy triggered by stupidity. recently, Rattlesnake was having a sale, so I decided to try one. it was a class act all the way as an experience,...

Rick W. - Yep these are for real! My rig sounds better than ever. Can hear every nuance of the guitar at any volume. I love that the cords are thicker and heavily constructed as well. Should hold up for long tours,(I'll update on this). Not to mention how cool they look. I have found a new home for all my cord needs with Rattlesnake, and I do not see anyone topping what Hank is doing any time soon. June 12, 2022 Read Full Testimonial
Miguel J. - Rattlesnake Cables are built with extreme care and dedication. They are rugged, built to last, and provide exceptional tone quality. I am a minimalist when it comes to equipment (my usual setup is guitar-cheap cable-amp). This is my first time purchasing a high end cable and it does not disappoint. I may not need to purchase another one for many years. When something goes wrong during a gig or recording session, I try my best to take... June 11, 2022 Read Full Testimonial
Tony G. - These cables are better than any effects pedal I have on my pedalboard! I certainly did not expect such a change in tone and clarity! Beyond impressed! Tony Goulas, professional musician and Grammy Award winning writer June 9, 2022 Read Full Testimonial
Peter R. - I was told about these guys from the other guitarist in my band, who had seen a facebook ad. I'm normally not one to buy stuff after seeing ads, but he had ordered a really nice new cable, and I was in the market for a loom for my new pedalboard build. June 9, 2022 Read Full Testimonial
Daniel B. - After using my Monster cables for years, I was looking for something different. I bought two cables from Rattlesnake Cable Company for my guitar rig set up and was blown away! They are so well balanced in all the right frequencies, built like a tank, easy to use on live stages without the dreaded " cable curl " my old cables were infamous for, and are extremely GOOD LOOKING! I will definitely continue to buy my guitar cables from this great... June 8, 2022 Read Full Testimonial
Gibson H. - What’s not to like about Rattlesnake cables? They are tough, spool up well for tidy packing, and unfurl beautifully for layout wherever you need them. I have been using Hank’s cables since he first developed them and have no desire to use anything else. For me they have the perfect amount of capacitance for great tone and are much mor durable than me! June 8, 2022 Read Full Testimonial
Justin H. - These are excellent quality, durable cables that should last a very long time. I liked the first cable and buying experience so much, I ordered a second cable right after I received the first one. Their turnaround time is incredibly quick. My orders were processed, assembled, and shipped in a couple of days. June 8, 2022 Read Full Testimonial
Johnny H. - I received my new guitar cable from Rattlesnake Cable Co. last week and It is the nicest most solidly build cable I have ever bought. I also love the bright Tangerine color that I selected, it is very easy to see on the floor, helping to reduce the trip hazard for me, it also looks quite nice under the lights.

Thoughts about our Service:
Fast, reliable service. Very fast build and shipping. Needed an end changed and was done quickly and at a very reasonable price. Applied and accepted to be an artist endorser.
Many years ago now I met Hank Donovan on the guitar forums on Farcebook. he was always an ace dude, and when I found out about his product, I was intrigued. As a professional musician, I really wanted to check it out, but the higher price kept me at bay... a false economy triggered by stupidity. recently, Rattlesnake was having a sale, so I decided to try one. it was a class act all the way as an experience, including some unexpected perks like messages to let me know my cable was in process, and even a video from hank thanking me for my purchase. it arrived a couple days later in a nice hemp stash bag, and MAN! this sucker is INDESTRUCTABLE. even my 400 lb ass standing on the thing won't crush it's protective sheathing. the ends are SOLID and perfectly protected with shrink wrap. the bare end for the guitar is a great touch, as its way more flexible than the sheathed part of the cable.
tonally it's very clear sounding, with a nice phase alignment.... ie, the bass/mids/trebs all seem equal and balanced which can be a hat trick with any cable... often they suck highs or lose lows. this thing sounds great. every aspect of the deal was pretty sweet. the cable may have SEEMED expensive, BUT IN REALITY it's gonna outlast every other cable I've ever owned, I can tell already... hell, I paid more for a monster cable in the past that never made it 10 years before screwing up. I've gone thru probably a thousand dollars of cables over the last couple decades... but this cable will likely last me MY last couple decades.
I chose the rattlesnake cover personally, cuz it was so dang cool looking but they have all kinds of other covers you can choose.
factor in the custom shop aspect where you can choose your options, and this may well be the finest cable monger on the entire earth. I'm NOT kidding.

Thoughts about our Service:
off the hook. I never expected to be HAPPY spending 65 bux for a cable! but I am. ;)
What was purchased:
I got the rattlesnake cable with the uncovered end, straight on amp end, angled on guitar end with the rattlesnake cover which has a beautiful diamondback finish.

Super fast response and shipping. These people are serious about their craft.
Rattlesnake Cables are built with extreme care and dedication. They are rugged, built to last, and provide exceptional tone quality. I am a minimalist when it comes to equipment (my usual setup is guitar-cheap cable-amp). This is my first time purchasing a high end cable and it does not disappoint. I may not need to purchase another one for many years. When something goes wrong during a gig or recording session, I try my best to take responsibility and not blame my equipment/tools. When something goes very well, on the other hand, I always give credit where its due. Rattlesnake Cables are top quality, and I recommend them for any performing or recording musician.
Thoughts about our Service:
Mr. Hank Donovan was very helpful and accommodating and offered an artist discount and free shipping. The order arrived quickly and very nicely packaged. Overall great experience and will definitely make another purchase soon.
These cables are better than any effects pedal I have on my pedalboard!
I certainly did not expect such a change in tone and clarity! Beyond impressed!

Thoughts about our Service:
Hank Donovan was great to deal with.
Heck, he even sent a text AND video
Of course he’s my new go-to for guitar accessories
I highly recommend!
I was told about these guys from the other guitarist in my band, who had seen a facebook ad. I'm normally not one to buy stuff after seeing ads, but he had ordered a really nice new cable, and I was in the market for a loom for my new pedalboard build.
Thoughts about our Service:
Frankly, I was shocked at how awesome they were! Sunday on Memorial Day weekend, I submitted a custom build request. Hank got back to me within an hour. After some back and forth ON THE SAME DAY, they finished my build and had a shipping label created. I never expected that kind of service/quickness, especially over the holiday weekend. I figured it would take a few days the week after to sort out. Hank was excellent at sorting out my requests and even made a cool video after the fact. Legit - great company that I would absolutely buy cables from again.
What was purchased:
I purchased a custom loom with 4 mono cables, 30' long

Thoughts about our Service:
Ridiculously great. I had a great time recently picking my cables up direct from the factory which is conveniently located on a bike path. Hank graciously showed me the new building and their latest products. Thanks buddy, hope to see you again soon!

Thoughts about our Service:
The products are excellent, but Rattlesnake's customer service is why I will continue to buy from them.
I had tried ordering boutique cables from a different company, had a very bad experience and was a bit reticent to try again.
When I really needed a new cable, I did some research and came up with Rattlesnake Cable Company. I could not be happier with my experience. Email updates on order progress, hand written thank you notes in the shipment, and top shelf packaging, all prove that this company really cares about their customers. And getting you the best cables possible.
Order one and find out. You won't regret it.
