Fender Tim Armstrong Hellcat Acoustic Guitar

Fender Tim Armstrong Hellcat Concert Acoustic-Electric Guitar

A punk-inspired acoustic-electric with bold style and stage-ready tone

Well known as the Grammy-winning founder of the influential punk band Rancid, Tim Armstrong is also a respected producer and indie label owner. But as a songwriter, his creative spark has always come from his old Fender concert-style acoustic. The Tim Armstrong Hellcat Concert Acoustic-Electric is based directly on that classic guitar, upgraded with modern features and high-quality electronics to make it ready for both stage and studio.

This guitar pairs punk attitude with versatile tone, offering a solid mahogany top for rich resonance, scalloped bracing for greater projection, and onboard Fishman® CD electronics with a built-in tuner for plug-and-play performance. With unique Hellcat fretboard inlays and Armstrong’s personal touch, this is more than a signature model—it’s a guitar built for players who want character, comfort, and reliability.
