About this listing
Well known as the Grammy-winning founder of influential U.S. punk band Rancid, Tim Armstrong is also well respected as a producer and indie label owner. But as a songwriter, he has always turned to his old Fender concert-style acoustic for inspiration. The Tim Armstrong Hellcat is based on Armstrong's own classic instrument, with modern appointments including high-quality onboard electronics. A great guitar for pop, rock, folk and more, it has a solid mahogany top for especially sweet sound and a satin-finish maple neck for smooth playability.FeaturesTim Armstrong signature model, concert body style acoustic-electricFishman® Isys™ III pickup system with active preamp, tuner, volume and tone controlsNatural-finish solid mahogany top with scalloped “X” bracing, mahogany back and sidesMaple neck with satin finish20-fret walnut fingerboard with “Hellcat” and double-skull inlaysWalnut bridge with compensated Graph Tech® Nubone™ saddleFishman® Preamp With Built-In TunerA 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 BracingScalloped 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 TopAn acoustic guitar with a solid top literally resonates with a more individual tonal character, more "organic" consistency and a more "true" voice.SpecificationsBodyBody Back: Laminated MahoganyBody Sides: Laminated MahoganyBody Top: Solid MahoganyBody Finish: Satin PolyurethaneBody Shape: ConcertBody Binding: MultipleBracing: Scalloped XRosette: 70s F StyleNeckNeck Material: MapleNeck Finish: Satin UrethaneNeck Shape: "C" ShapeScale Length: 25.3" (643 mm)Fingerboard Material: WalnutFingerboard Radius: 11.81" (300 mm)Number of Frets: 19Fret Size: Vintage StyleNut Material: Graph Tech® NuBoneNut Width: 1.69" (43 mm)Position Inlays: Hellcat and Double SkullsTruss Rod: Dual-ActionElectronicsSpecial Electronics: Fishman® Isys III System with Active Onboard Preamp and TunerHardwareBridge: WalnutBridge Pins: White with Black DotsHardware Finish: ChromeTuning Machines: Vintage-Style with Aged White Plastic ButtonsPickguard: 4-Ply TortoiseshellMiscellaneousStrings: Fender® Dura-Tone® 880L Coated 80/20 (.012-.052 Gauge)
