Many Rancid songs are influenced by Armstrong's heavily modified Fender Acoustics from the 70s, which served as the basis for this guitar. With powerful sound, full stage capability and extensive equipment, it delivers an absolutely convincing overall package at an unbelievably low price

While the back and sides are made of laminate to prevent feedback during stage use, the solid top promises powerful dynamics and pronounced warmth that brings both accompanying chords and pickings to life.
At the same time, the compact"Concert" body with its manoeuvrable handling is convincing in every situation: the maple neck of the Tim Armstrong with its pronounced"Vintage C" profile is rich and comfortable in the hand.
The combination of a flat 300 mm fretboard radius and a slightly shortened 643 mm scale allows even complex chords to come out of the fingers and ensures a perfect definition of all strings at the same time Thanks to the permanently installed Fishman Isys III pickup, the Fender Tim Armstrong Hellcat is fully suitable for the stage.
The Under Saddle Pickup transfers the sound of the guitar with natural dynamics and warmth as well as precise string separation.
