The Fender Tim Armstrong Hellcat Acoustic-Electric Guitar is a unique blend of vintage design and modern innovation, packed with personality. Based on Tim Armstrong's trusty '60s Fender acoustic guitar, this instrument is not just a tribute, but an embodiment of the legendary punk band Rancid's sound and style. Key elements of Armstrong’s original guitar are retained, but with a modern twist.

The distinctive pearl acrylic "Hellcat" logos on the third, fifth, and seventh frets, and the dual skulls on the twelfth fret, give this guitar an edgy and unique look. The solid mahogany top and back with scalloped bracing deliver a warm, robust tone, whether you're playing unplugged or connected.

When you're ready to amplify your sound, the Fishman Tim Armstrong Hellcat Acoustic preamp ensures a solid amplified acoustic tone. The black painted headstock and 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard add to the instrument's signature vibe, making the Hellcat distinctively Armstrong.
