Fender Tim Armstrong Hellcat Electro Acoustic Guitar - Walnut Fretboard - Natural

Fender Tim Armstrong Hellcat Electro Acoustic Guitar - Walnut Fretboard - Natural Overview :

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 CD Acoustic preamp.

Features

• Tim Armstrong signature model, concert body style acoustic-electric
  
• Fishman CD pickup system with active preamp, tuner, volume and tone controls
  
• Natural-finish solid mahogany top with scalloped "X" bracing, mahogany back and sides
  
• Maple neck with satin finish
  
• 20-fret walnut fingerboard with "Hellcat" and double-skull inlays
  
• Walnut bridge with compensated Graph Tech Nubone saddle

Highlights

Fishman preamp with built-in tuner
A Fishman pickup/preamp system gives your acoustic instrument peerless amplified performance, with a variety of onboard controls and no compromise whatsoever on pure, rich and resonant acoustic tone. The built-in tuner is conveniently placed right where you can see it, helping to keep your intonation right on the money.

Scalloped Bracing
Scalloped bracing is thinner than more conventional bracing. That means that the bracing pattern inside the guitar uses less wood, which means that soundboard mass is reduced. This lets the top resonate more freely, resulting in better tone with more nuance and greater projection.

Solid Top
An acoustic guitar with a solid top literally resonates with a more individual tonal character, more "organic" consistency and a more "true" voice.
