Fender Tim Armstrong Hellcat White Satin

General

Tim Armstrong - singer, guitarist and founder of legendary punk-rock band Rancid - already has several Fender signature guitars listed to his name. Here's the elegant Satin White Fender Tim Armstrong, modelled after Armstrong's loyal acoustic Fender guitar from the sixties. 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 signature and design by the punk rocker himself as well as a leather guitar strap sporting the familiar 'Let's Go'.

Construction of the Fender Tim Armstrong Hellcat

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, which consists of a piezo pickup and a preamp with active tone control. 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.
