A punk-rock signature acoustic with a solid mahogany top and plug-in-and-play electronics. The Fender Tim Armstrong Hellcat is the signature concert-body acoustic-electric of the Rancid frontman, based on the old Fender concert-style acoustic he has always used for songwriting. It pairs a solid mahogany top with mahogany back and sides, a Fishman pickup system with built-in tuner, and Hellcat and double-skull inlays.
