Fender Tim Armstrong Hellcat Electro Acoustic, Mahogany - Secondhand

Full Description

Signature design - Tim Armstrong style

Tim Armstrong is the Grammy Award-winning founder of the U.S. punk band Rancid. He is also known for his producing skills alongside creating his own indie record label. The Hellcat is Tim's signature guitar, based on his own '60s Fender acoustic guitar. The Hellcat features modern appointments to give it a distinct look that will stand out from the crowd, including ''Hellcat'' and double-skull fingerboard inlays, four-ply pickguard, classic white body binding, distinct headstock inlay design, and Tim's signature on the truss rod cover - legendary as the man himself.

Indulgent sonic warmth

And it sounds even better with age. Featuring a solid mahogany top, the Tim Armstrong Hellcat produces an instantly recognisable old-school warmth with a focused, punchy attitude. It's rich, resonant, and simply oozes tone of days gone by. But that's not all. This Fender Tim Armstrong Electro Acoustic allows you to reap the benefit of solid-topped tone too, developing and blossoming with even more inspiration-sparking character the more you play. Plus, with a laminate mahogany body, you have one strong, stunning instrument with a climate-resilient attitude. Making it perfect for life on the go.

Immense playing comfort

It features a compact, comfortable concert size that's similar in proportion to auditorium and folk guitars. While its signature Tim Armstrong design gives you a sublime platform for songwriting. The comfort continues with meticulous Fender know-how and an ergonomic ''C''-shaped neck, allowing you to glide up and down the Hellcat's neck with speed and precision. Effortless. Plus, with such a versatile, responsive attitude, it's easy to play almost anything your mood feels. From pop and folk, to blues, roots, and rock.
