About this guitar:
Weight: 4.9 pounds

This guitar came directly from Fender to my supplier, it has never been sold retail, the protective covers are still on the pick guard and truss rod cover..  It was tested by factory trained technicians and no issues were found, the electronics work as designed, there is no fret buzz and the set up is to factory specs.  We tested it again when we got it in and found everthing working as designed with no issues.  When we polished the guitar we did not find any blemishes or other issues with the body.  The action on this guitar is incredible, it is one of the lowest actions you will find on an acoustic.

Here is what Fender says about the Tim Armstrong Hellcat:

A 6-string not for the faint of heart, Fender’s Tim Armstrong Hellcat is about as punk rock as an acoustic guitar can get! As the lead singer of punk legends Rancid, Tim has long favored his Fender concert-size acoustic for songwriting duties. The Tim Armstrong Hellcat is a tribute to that guitar, with a few performance-minded upgrades added. Songwriters and unplugged players will surely love how this guitar’s solid spruce top and mahogany back/sides provide a clear, balanced, and midrange-forward response perfect for vocal accompaniment. Looking to take to the stage? This guitar’s Fishman CD-1 Preamp delivers a full-bodied acoustic-electric tone to capture the ears of any audience, while the wild Hellcat/double skull inlays are guaranteed to capture their eyes. And once the show’s over, the Hellcat’s pared-down concert-size body and slim walnut-topped-maple “C” neck make the Hellcat both a superlative songwriting companion and supremely comfortable couch strummer.

FAQ, frequently asked questions

Why are instruments sent to a refurbisher?  The instrument could be a discontinued model, have a finish imperfection, or need a minor repair.

Who refurbishes your instruments?  All of my instruments come from the largest and best refurbisher in the country, where any issue found is corrected by a factory trained and authorized luthier.

Does a refurbished instrument have the manufacturer warranty?  No, any instrument sent to a refurbisher, regardless of the reason it was sent there, no longer carries the manufacturer warranty.  Per agreement with Fender there is a small used stamp on the back of the head stock, the last two digits of the stamped serial number have been removed and a sticker with the serial number has been placed over the stamped number.

Will I need to set up my instrument when I receive it?  All of my instruments have been set-up before shipping, so most are ready to play out of the box.  However some instruments may need a minor adjustment after shipping due to changes in temperature, humidity, and  getting bumped around during shipping.  Also some players like to set up a new guitar to their own personal preferences.
