General

If you play punk or rock on an electric guitar, have you ever thought about switching to a stylish black electro-acoustic model? If so, then this strictly limited edition Fender Hellcat Black Ruby could be for you. This Tim Armstrong guitar has the same specifications as the natural and Honor Green models, only this limited edition model has an elegant Satin Black finish. It also features white pearloid Hellcat position markers, a double skull inlay on the twelfth fret and the signature of Rancid's frontman on the truss rod cover. All of this combines to give you a visually stunning guitar that represents excellent value for money.

Tim Armstrong Hellcat Black Ruby Limited Edition: materials and sound

This Concert model steel-string guitar is largely made of mahogany including the solid top, back and sides. This gives the matte black Fender Hellcat Black Ruby a full, creamy sound. A set-in maple neck adds some pleasant definition. If you love a warm, resonant guitar sound, this electro-acoustic Tim Armstrong Hellcat gives you just what you need for a price that is virtually unprecedented. Rancid fans and Fender aficionados, take note: this durable steel-string workhorse would make a great addition to your collection.

Fishman Isys III preamp

The Fender Tim Armstrong Hellcat is equipped with a Fishman Isys III pickup system, which consists of a piezo pickup and a preamp with active tone control. Using the three-band equalizer, you can adjust the tone to your liking. Tuning your guitar is made much easier thanks to the clear display of the built-in tuning device. Whether you prefer playing amplified or acoustically, you'll love the sound of this Tim Armstrong signature guitar.
