Fender Tim Armstrong Hellcat WN Checkerboard Electro-Acoustic Guitar
Product no: 9000-0041-1559 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a 3-year warranty.

General

Tim Armstrong, one of the founders of legendary punk band Rancid, often grabs his Fender acoustic when he's looking for inspiration. This special edition of his Hellcat model is a stunning electro-acoustic steel-string guitar with a Checkerboard finish. No matter where you play it, it's an instrument that's sure to catch the attention of anyone who sees or hears it. It's versatile enough for different styles of music and thanks to the built-in Fishman Isys III preamplifier, it sounds great when amplified too.

The Hellcat Checker

The Fender Tim Armstrong Checker has a concert-shaped body with mahogany back and sides. For extra resonance and better sound projection, the top is made of solid spruce. The maple neck is home to a walnut fretboard that has 19 vintage-style frets. The satin-gloss lacquer gives the neck a fast and comfortable feel. Modern features like the Graph Tech NuBone nut and saddle add to this instrument's pure intonation and rich sound.
