Designed by punk icon Tim Armstrong, this guitar offers professional sound quality and playability with a satin finish and a 2-year warranty, making it a top choice for discerning musicians seeking vintage-inspired versatility at an accessible price. ## Description The unmistakable sound of a well-made 12-string guitar is perfect for solo gigs and band performances, especially when it was designed by the founder of influential U.S. punk band Rancid. Tim Armstrong's Hellcat is based on the old Fender acoustic that was his go-to guitar for songwriting, and quickly became one of the best-selling Fender acoustic artist models ever. With the Tim Armstrong Hellcat-12, that same classic vibe is offered in a 12-string version that simply rocks. Whether it's alt-folk tunes at the college coffeehouse or slamming punk with a band, the Hellcat-12 combines great acoustic tone with versatile onboard electronics and a satin body and neck finish for smooth playability, all at a surprisingly low cost. Review: Fender makes an very very NICE GREAT QUALITY INSTRUMENT - It's beautiful and that Fender Wildcat guitar is not only acoustic but also equipped for adding an amplifier for those that love the sound of an electric guitar. It is left handed absolutely beautiful and worth a lot more in the music shops in my town. Folks it would make an awesome gift a memory for years yo come and the sound is beyond words, such richness and beauty of the acoustic. Great gift for the up coming Holidays especially for s lover of quality sound and the radiance of A FENDER WILDCAT at such s very low price. I thank the person that sells and picked such beauty completely and for the price and desertcart for offering the best of those folks that search for true quality in their products. THANK YOU BOTH. Forgive my mistake in the name it is a Fender Tim Armstrong He'll cat. !!! Review: BLOWN AWAY!!!! - I really did not have high expectations for a budget 12 string guitar... I almost returned it day one... I did need to do a bit of set up on it, graphite the nut slots, adjust the intonation slightly, & re-tune... since it was 12 new strings.... But after the strings settled (probably 8-12 times re-tuning) & 5+ hours of play.... WOW!!! I never owned or played a 12-string that had NO BUZZING FRETS all the way up the neck. I absolutely love this guitar! I immediately installed my Tonewood amp & this thing sounds magical. I would suggest ordering some lighter gauge, better quality strings to make it easier to play for longer periods of time but... WOW. I highly suggest this guitar... I enjoy this as much as my Taylor & Gibson guitars... I have never said that about anything this low cost. ## Features - 12-string Acoustic-electric Guitar with Solid Mahogany Top - Fishman Electronics - Natural - Mahogany Back and Sides - Maple Neck ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07B99R44G | | Back Material Type | Mahogany | | Best Sellers Rank | #23,791 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #51 in Steel-String Acoustic Guitars | | Body Material Type | Mahogany | | Brand Name | Fender | | Color | Natural | | Connector Type | 1/4" (6.35mm) phone plug | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (212) | | Fretboard Material Type | Walnut Wood | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00885978875788 | | Guitar Bridge System | Hard Tail | | Guitar Pickup Configuration | Piezoelectric | | Hand Orientation | Right | | Instrument | Guitar | | Instrument Size | 45.74 inches | | Item Dimensions | 45.74 x 17.5 x 7 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 45.74"L x 17.5"W x 7"H | | Item Type Name | Tim Armstrong Hellcat-12, Natural | | Item Weight | 10.4 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Fender Musical Instruments Corp. | | Manufacturer Part Number | 971792022 | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Name | Hellcat | | Model Number | 971792022 | | Neck Material Type | Maple | | Number of Strings | 12 | | String Material Type | Alloy Steel | | String Nut Width | 1.75 Inches | | Top Material Type | Mahogany Wood | | UPC | 885978875788 | | Warranty Description | 162 year manufacturer limited warranty. | ## Product Details - **Back Material Type:** Mahogany - **Body Material:** Mahogany - **Brand:** Fender - **Color:** Natural - **Fretboard Material Type:** Walnut Wood - **Guitar Pickup Configuration:** Piezoelectric - **Hand Orientation:** Right - **Neck Material Type:** Maple - **String Material Type:** Alloy Steel - **Top Material Type:** Mahogany Wood ## Images ![Fender Tim Armstrong Hellcat 12-String Concert Acoustic Guitar, with 2-Year Warranty, Natural, Walnut Fingerboard - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71OwI010G6L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does this come with hard case?** A: No Case.

Unplugged acoustic -unreal! Yea the fisher electronics is awesome, but I was looking for a certain sound and this has it. The second thing I needed was an easy action and man!-I could not put this guitar down. Right out of the box, played put it down,played, I thought my imagination was gone. But man, the action is fantastic. Being left handed was the #3 and Tim and Fender got it right.HELLCAT yea! ## Frequently Bought Together - Fender Tim Armstrong Hellcat 12-String Concert Acoustic Guitar, with 2-Year Warranty, Natural, Walnut Fingerboard - Fender Premium Picks Sampler - 24 Pack Includes Thin, Medium & Heavy Gauges --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/89796359-fender-tim-armstrong-hellcat-12-string-concert-acoustic-guitar-2](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/89796359-fender-tim-armstrong-hellcat-12-string-concert-acoustic-guitar-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
