Why a Premium Coiled Guitar Cable is More Than Just a Vintage Aesthetic
A premium coiled guitar cable is more than just a vintage aesthetic—it should enhance your tone, not degrade it.
A bad cable? That’s a different story.
We’ve all been there—cheap, mass-produced cables that start crackling, cutting out, and even failing just after a few gigs. Most people think it’s just a worn-out cable, but the real problem runs deeper: corrosion, poor soldering, and low-quality materials.
In our 45+ years of experience in the guitar industry, we have experienced this issue of corrosion and failure even with the most premium expensive cable brands. No cable is safe.
If you care about your tone, durability, and the gear you rely on, a premium-grade hermtically sealed coiled cable is the only way to go. Here’s why.
What Makes a Premium Coiled Guitar Cable?
-
Low Capacitance = Your Tone Stays Intact & Juicy
Most guitarists don’t realize that coiled cables naturally increase capacitance, which can affect your tone:
• Cheap coiled cables = high capacitance = rolled-off highs, muddy, lifeless sound.
• Voltage Vintage Coil™ V2 = low capacitance = full-bodied vintage tone, clarity, and a of hint warmth. Our 21 AWG copper strikes the perfect balance between toughness and top end. 25-39 pF/ft depending on stretch.
2. Corrosion – The Silent Killer of Guitar Cables
Most cables don’t fail because they were yanked too hard—they fail because of corrosion. This chemical reaction even creeps up into the cable internals damaging the whole integrity of the guitar cable. This age old problem has been happening for a long time. Heatshrink and the way guitar cables have been " protected " just isn't enough.
Over time, exposure to moisture, humidity, and oxidation causes serious damage:
• Crackling, signal loss, and random dropouts.
• Corroded solder joints = weaker connections.
• Total cable failure, even if it looks fine on the outside.
Our Voltage Vintage Coil™ V2 solves this with ISO-COAT™ protection, a patent-pending hermetic seal that prevents oxidation, ensuring your cable performs flawlessly year on year. No compromises.
We manufacture or cables for hard road use and touring in mind, not just to move units. Our passion for guitar tone and reliability drives everything we do at Voltage Cable Co.

• ISO-COAT™ Technology – Patent pending first-of-its-kind hermetic seal, invented to prevent corrosion, cable failure and sonic degradation.
• Rigorous Quality Control – 5 stages of quality control testing during manufacturing, plus 2 audio tests before each cable is shipped.
• 30ft Coiled Length – Ideal for both stage and studio use, right out of the box.
• Enhanced Recoil Memory – A thick outer jacket preserves recoil memory, ensuring your cable stays in tact performing year after year.

The Bottom Line – Get a Premium Cable That Sounds Killer & Won’t Fail You
Most coiled guitar cables—and even straight cables—will eventually break, kill your tone, or start crackling because of cheap materials, poor soldering, and lack of hermetic sealing. Without a hermetic seal, copper and joints are exposed to atmospheric attack like corrosion and oxidation. Heatshrink just isn't enough to prevent this and ensure a lifetime guitar cable.
Voltage Cable Co. guitar cables are built to outlast, outperform, and let your hands do the talking. With ISO-COAT™ protection, your tone is preserved for life.
If You’re Ready to Upgrade, Buy Once. Buy Voltage.
Why settle for multiple cables that break or dull your sound? Instead of replacing cables, invest in one that lasts a lifetime.
Designed to be played, built for a lifetime.™
