Tim Armstrong Hellcat Acoustic

Model : 096830
$449.99MSRP
Based on Tim Armstrong’s beat-up old ’60s Fender® acoustic - on which he writes all of the songs for his legendary punk band, Rancid - the Tim Armstrong Hellcat acoustic is ready to slam. Armstrong has given his acoustic some modern mojo with pearl acrylic "Hellcat" logos on the third, fifth and seventh frets, with a pair of skulls adorning the twelfth fret. Other features include a solid mahogany top, scalloped bracing and Fishman® preamp.

This was my first acoustic-electric guitar and I love it. It's the guitar I grab most often whether I'm just noodling around or jamming with some friends. It's very playable and the size makes it convenient. Plus the price point and the durability means I can take it with me to a friend's house, camping or anywhere without having to worry over every little thing. It's not my sweetest sounding guitar but it certainly gets the job done and I've gotten a lot of compliments about the look.
