A Hellcat Born from Punk Spirit, Built for Composing
Inspired by Tim Armstrong's (Rancid) vintage Fender Concert-style acoustic used for finding ideas and composing, the Tim Armstrong Hellcat carries the DNA of a classic "songwriter" instrument with modern details added. The result: an electro-acoustic with a strong character, designed to transition naturally from the couch to rehearsal, then to the stage thanks to quality built-in electronics.
Who Is It For, and Which Styles?
This guitar is aimed at beginner to intermediate guitarists seeking an inspiring electro-acoustic, but it also has everything needed for an experienced musician wanting a responsive Concert guitar that's easy to amplify. Its size and balance make it very comfortable in pop, rock, folk, and, of course, for punk/alternative open chord accompaniments as well as arpeggio parts. The built-in tuner is a real plus both on stage and in the home studio.
Sound
The solid mahogany top delivers a direct, warm response focused on the midrange, ideal for highlighting the pick attack's grain and the clarity of rhythm playing. The laminated mahogany back and sides enhance stability and contribute to even projection. The scalloped X bracing lightens the top to let it vibrate more freely: resulting in a more resonant guitar with greater nuance and better presence. Plugged in, the Fishman electronics with active preamp and volume/tone controls maintain a balanced, usable acoustic sound with quick on-stage adjustment.

A very very good guitar... a warm and brilliant sound that must still be maintained by regularly changing the strings. Great look, the preamp is great (be careful not to leave the tuner on because it can drain your battery in no time) and the handling is great. I was amazed when I first held it in my hands. Small downside the Sol sizzles when you play the string on a certain frequency. A very good guitar all the same

DAMN THIS GUITAR IS FROM GOD!!!! I'm hallucinating!! a round and warm sound, a natural look that is really “wooden” not like guitars covered in varnish, a basic but sufficient preamp (it does not correspond to the image: in reality it has a “volume” a “treble” “bass” and “middle” knobs and the tuner)... go for it without thinking!

In terms of aesthetics, the appearance is very natural and the finishes are perfect. The guitar is relatively fun to play. I placed my order on Tuesday at the end of the afternoon by phone and the guitar arrived on Thursday morning, thank you Woodbrass:)
