Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Fender’s right-handed Tim Armstrong Hellcat is a six-string acoustic-electric with a solid mahogany top, laminated mahogany back and sides, and scalloped X bracing. Its Fishman Tim Armstrong Hellcat Acoustic preamp is mounted at the side and brings onboard 3-band EQ, a tuner, and a Phase feedback filter to the guitar itself. The concert/O body has no cutaway and carries 19 frets. Pearl acrylic Hellcat position markers appear at the third, fifth, and seventh frets, with skull markers at the twelfth.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Acoustic-electric playing that benefits from onboard 3-band EQ, a tuner, and a Phase feedback filter.

Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
