I started Rattlesnake Cables in early 2012 when I began researching for the cable of my dreams. For years prior I’ve been involved with electronics ranging from pedal building to instrument repairs and to other various nerd projects.
As a guitarist, I wanted to achieve certain goals. Obviously, signal was the primary goal. I’ve owned various “quality” cables and I wanted to surpass the quality of those cables. When I plugged in my first prototype I was immediately blown away by the clarity, punch of the signal!
Originally, I assembed the cable for myself, but as soon as other musical friends of mine started seeing, hearing and feeling the cables, the requests started coming in for cables… and the company was born. The response has been fantastic and seeing these cables on stage with working musicians is something very special for me!
Rattlesnake Cables is based out of beautiful Missoula, Montana where I’m very proud to call my home. What started with a simple idea for me has grown into a family business where my wife and son have become involved with the operations. Each cable is assembled and tested by myself and are made “to order”. Each cable is tested through a Fender Jazzmaster through a Matchless Amp for final testing after assembly. They’re not simply tested through a cable tester, but played to determine if the tone is 100% there.
