Wanna riot? We say yes! Based on Tim Armstrong’s beat up old ’60s Fender acoustic—on which he writes all of the songs for his infamous and legendary punk band, Rancid—the Tim Armstrong Hellcat acoustic is ready to slam its way into the mosh pit! Tim has given his acoustic some modern flair and style with pearl acrylic “Hellcat” logos on the third, fifth and seventh frets, with a couple skulls adorning the twelth fret. Other features include Fishman® preamp with built-in tuner, strap button, scalloped bracing, solid mahogany top and a look that will have you singing “Roots Radicals” till your mohawk is ready for its next trim.

A few things: 1) the tuner and electronics are Fishman, but they're different from the picture. There are very small knobs to turn for bass, mid, and high instead of the sliders. It's very hard to see the position in low stage lighting. The tuner is more of a round display with red and green indicator lights. I like it better. Also, the battery compartment is located separately on the end of the guitar along with the jack. Not a bad design, actually. 2) the bridge pins are not black with white dots, but white with black dots. No big deal. 3) Fender advertises EXP 11's for strings. It came with a non-coated set of 12's. I changed the strings to Elixir 11's and it's much better. I think I'll play through this set of strings and then have the bridge shaved a little to lower the action. It's a little higher than I like. On the plus side, the finish and look of the guitar...

It's smaller size makes it comfortable to play. The neck is not to fat or to thin. The action is on the high side and could use some lowering but it's not bad. What this guitar does is sound good. very balanced tone. Bass lines stand out well and have volume and distinction. High notes are on the warm side. Chords sound out well, rich and not muddy. Picking solo notes ring out with a chime and with volume. The guitar respondes well when played soft and easy with a warm mellow tone and when you dig in hard and get agresive it rings out loud and clear. It's NOT a dead flat sounding dull guitar and fact it's quite rich it tone and ambiance. I was uprised to see that it was all mahogany as it sounded brighter than most mahaogany guitars and seems to lean more towards the brighter maple guitars 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful:  Awesome!, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Fender Tim Armstrong Hellcat Acoustic Guitar, Natural (Electronics) It has an awesome sound, great quality, I am extremely happy with it.
