General
Tim Armstrong - singer, guitarist and founder of legendary punk-rock band Rancid - already has several Fender signature guitars listed to his name. This is the Fender Tim Armstrong Hellcat, modelled after his trusted old acoustic '60s Fender. The classic design is now home to a Fishman Isys III preamp system and striking Hellcat and Double Skulls position markers on the fretboard. This guitar comes with a leather guitar strap sporting the familiar 'Let's Go' as well as a signature and design by the punk rocker himself.
Construction
This acoustic western guitar has a mahogany concert-model body with a solid top and laminated sides and back. The Armstrong Hellcat has a maple neck and a 20-fret rosewood fretboard. The combination of a mahogany body and a rosewood fretboard ensures dark, warm tones. For a guitar in this price range, a solid mahogany top is a remarkable feature. The top greatly benefits the overall sound and produces more resonance, a fuller tone and excellent projection.
Fishman Isys III preamp
The Fender Tim Armstrong Hellcat is equipped with a Fishman Isys III pickup system that comprises a high-quality piezo pickup and a preamp with active tone controls. Via the three-band equalizer you can adjust the tone to your liking. Tuning your guitar is made much easier by the clear display of the built-in tuning device. Whether acoustically or amplified, this Tim Armstrong signature is a great guitar.

Do you like to play acoustic rock, punk or ska music? In that case, this unique Hellcat Honor Green might just make your mouth water and your fingers tingle.
