Based on the favorite '60s Fender acoustic guitar of Rancid's Tim Armstrong, Fender's Tim Armstrong Hellcat 6-string acoustic-electric is a true signature instrument with all the detailed visual appointments that make Tim's original guitar iconic. Fender keeps the vibe of Armstrong's time-tested axe... but gives it a touch of modern flair and style, captured in the pearl acrylic Hellcat logos on the third, fifth, and seventh frets and double-skulls at the 12th fret. Thanks to its solid mahogany top and mahogany back and sides, the Tim Armstrong Hellcat 6-string sounds fantastic unplugged — great for jams in the backyard or on the beach. And when you're ready to plug in, you'll find an onboard Fishman Tim Armstrong preamplifier with a built-in tuner kicking out solid amplified acoustic tone.

So I get this, look at it, and think "gee what a cute toy". Then I play it and I think "sounds pretty good for a toy". Then I run it through my new Fender Acoustic Junior and think, holy sh*t. Has a nice Fender sound that almost sounds electric with great lows and highs with amp bass and treble on 5 and then adjusting bass and treble on the guitar. Tuner is spot on - tricky though… read more has just a wee bit of delay. Very comfortable to play, body and neck. Awesome set up by Brandon H. Got the PB nanoweb Elixer 11/52's. Phenomenal, really. Anyway, this thing ain't winning any contests for looks it really does look like a plastic toy to me but I'd buy it again without hesitation in a heartbeat!
Great sound and great appearance

I've had an inexpensive Rogue acoustic for many years. When I saw that there was a Tim Armstrong signature instrument, I decided it was time for an upgrade. This is a really great instrument. The look and feel are really nice. Great construction, lightweight and sized well for comfortable playing. The material choices work well and the inlay really stands out. The guitar produces… read more a great sound, the built in Tuner is handy and works well. Overall, I'm super happy with this addition to my collection.
Happy, happy, happy!

My guitar arrived well packed and in perfect condition. It was even very close to being in tune, right out of the box! I feel especially grateful for the care and process of the 55 point inspection. The only place I will buy a guitar that I haven't yet played, or touched. Good job Sweetwater!
Gorgeous!

This guitar is absolutely stunning! The playability and action was amazing and had ZERO intonation issues. The only thing I could find wrong about this guitar was that MINE had sharp fret ends, but THATS LITERALLY ALL. Amazing color and amazing sound. Really great for recording acoustically and/or electronically. Very balanced tones so it’s great for most styles. I’d recommend… read more this to anybody!
Amazing value for this price.

Coming from Sweetwater, the guitar was perfectly set up. Payed it for awhile out of the box and checked it out. It was already in tune, strings evenly spaced above the fret board, and intonation at the 12th, 7th, and 5th fret were in tune and rang out with perfect harmonics. The Hellcat comes with 11 gauge strings, and I've been playing 10s on all my guitars for decades, so I… read more did change the strings. While off, I lemon oil on the fretboard and bridge,, and polished the guitar, probably unnecessary, more force of habit. Guitar tuned right back up and no change in the set up. I have a Martin that is strictly for inside the house, and a Takamini for playing out with the band. Took this to the studio antyd played it thru an amp to check out the electronics. The tuner is excellent and dead on with the tuner on my pedal board. Bass, treble, and volume all work as expected. Pre-amp is clean and strong. Ply plenty of power at about 2. Very pleased with this guitar and would highly recommend buying it. Worth much more than the sell price. Bought this to play out on the porch with neighbors, and in Florida summers it can be 95 with very high humidity. The guitar is better than that and would not hesitate to take on gigs. The guitar is beautiful, and I love the inlays.
