Fender Tim Armstrong Hellcat FSR Checkerboard

Together with his band Rancid, the American Tim Armstrong is one of the most famous punk guitarists of the recent past. Many Rancid songs are influenced by Armstrong's heavily modified 1970s Fender acoustics, which served as the basis for this strictly limited factory special run. With a powerful sound, full stage capability and extensive equipment, it delivers an absolutely convincing overall package at an incredibly low price.

Like Armstrong's original, the Fender Tim Armstrong Hellcat uses only mahogany for the body construction. 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 convinces with its manoeuvrable handling in every situation.

The maple neck of the Tim Armstrong with its pronounced"Vintage C" profile is rich and comfortable to hold. The combination of a flat 300 mm fretboard radius and a slightly shortened 643 mm scale length allows even complex chords to come out of your fingers and ensures a perfect definition of all strings at the same time.

The Fender Tim Armstrong Hellcat Checkerboard LTD is fully stage-ready thanks to the built-in Fishman Isys III pickup. The Under Saddle Pickup transfers the sound of the guitar with natural dynamics and warmth as well as precise string separation. The equipment of the Fender Tim Armstrong Hellcat Checkerboard LTD is rounded off by reliable mechanics in vintage style, which guarantee high tuning stability with precise transmission.
