Guitar Cables

[ᛗᛜᛜᚺDᛜᎶ Ꮤᛨᚳᚴ]

Here are the specs for the Rattlesnake guitar cable...if anyone is interested.

• Conductor/Shield 99.95% OFBC
• Capacitance at 20-25pF/ft @ 15'
• Braided OFBC copper shield (95% coverage)
• 20AWG stranded OFBC conductor
• 1/4" Neutrik NP2X Plugs
• Cable milled in the United States
• Cable hand-assembled in Missoula, Montana

I have never done any direct comparisons, but I have been using Rattlesnake cables for about 4 years now and really like them. They do a great job in tangle prevention and as previously mentioned the owner Hank seems like a real stand-up guy! Get the "snakehead" on your cables if you order some. Does not cost any extra (at least it did not when I bought my half a dozen) and it is nice to have a smooth rubber surface on the 18" of cable that goes into the guitar (so the kevlar sheath does not scratch your guitar surface if you are running it through strap area).

It was mandatory in the audio program I attended that we learn to construct TS and TRS 1/4 inch and XLR cables. I continued making my own cables up until a couple years ago when I came across the D’addario American Stage series. I’ve had the same 6 cables for 5 years now with 1 painlessly replaced under warranty and no other issues.

Funny enough my electronics professor was emphatic about using low capacitance wire - I’ve always opted for the lowest capacitance I could find.

Just nabbed three Rattlesnake cables.
