Voltage Cable Co
Words by Christopher Hockey

Everyone loves coil cables.

They have an undeniable retro charm that harkens back to the golden age of classic rock, they don’t tangle and they’re just plain cool. They have however, always had a reputation as a guitar cable lacking durability and having a short lifespan. Well, thanks to Voltage Cable Co, that is no longer the case. 

The brand new Voltage Vintage Coil® 30-foot guitar cable is now protected with ISO-COAT® technology to provide unsurpassed reliability. Offering superior sound quality and durability, Voltage’s patent-pending ISO-COAT® treatment applies a hermetic seal to solder terminations. This first-of-its-kind airtight seal prevents corrosion and oxidation, a well known cause of cable failure and degradation. Voltage Cable Co are so confident in their new cables in fact, that it comes with a genuine lifetime guarantee. No longer is the guitar cable market exclusively based on the eventual degradation and failure of the product, these Vintage Coils are built to last a lifetime.

Aside from the tech specs, one of the main advantages of a coiled cable is their superior ability to stretch out and retract. For performers who like to move around on stage, this provides a lot of flexibility. Not having to stress about tripping over messy cables and keeping a tidy stage is crucial when you’re expressing yourself and doing your thing. The ability to jump around without losing tension is what has made coiled cables so popular for so long, and now they’re built better than ever thanks to Voltage Cable Co.

It’s no wonder that impressive names such as Vincent Neil Emmerson, Jedd Hughes, Grace Bowers and John Bohlinger swear by these cables, the combination of the cool retro aesthetic and unparalleled quality that the Voltage Vintage Coil® provides is hard to beat. Designed to be played night after night and built for a lifetime, Voltage Vintage Coil® cables currently have an RRP of $139AUD. I’d consider this to be a bargain for a top of the line cable, particularly for a lifetime guarantee!
