Fender Tim Armstrong Hellcat - Natural with Walnut Fingerboard

Well known as the Grammy-winning founder of influential U.S. punk band Rancid, Tim Armstrong is also well respected as a producer and indie label owner. But as a songwriter, he has always turned to his old Fender concert-style acoustic for inspiration. The Tim Armstrong Hellcat is based on Armstrong's own classic instrument, with modern appointments including high-quality onboard electronics. A great guitar for pop, rock, folk and more, it has a solid mahogany top for especially sweet sound and a satin-finish maple neck for smooth playability.

At Newell’s Music in Greenwood, SC, every guitar we sell is handpicked for quality, tone, and player appeal. We don’t just stock boxes—we inspect, set up, and fine-tune each instrument to ensure it’s stage-ready from day one. Every guitar comes with our lifetime adjustment service, so you can count on ongoing support as your playing evolves. Whether you’re buying online or picking up in person, we re-inspect before delivery to guarantee your guitar arrives safely and performs flawlessly. It’s all part of the Newell’s Experience.
