Fender Tim Armstrong Hellcat-12 String
Well known as the Grammy-winning founder of influential U.S. punk band Rancid, Tim Armstrong is also well respected as a producer and indie label owner. But as a songwriter, he has always turned to his old Fender concert-style acoustic for inspiration. The Tim Armstrong Hellcat is based on Armstrong's own classic instrument, with modern appointments including high-quality onboard electronics. A great guitar for pop, rock, folk and more, it has a solid mahogany top for especially sweet sound and a satin-finish maple neck for smooth playability.
Singer and guitarist of seminal punk band, Rancid, Tim Armstrong has been behind some fantastic punk songs and is credited for being a huge influence on the revival of punk rock in the USA and bringing it into the mainstream.
Top-notch Fender craftsmanship, high quality electronics and real Tim Armstrong Hellcat attitude has gone into the creation of this awesome electro-acoustic guitar.
