Fender Tim Armstrong Hellcat Checker

For the money this is an excellent playing guitar. Considering its been shipped to the UK, I didn't need to do any adjustments to the action, delivery was quick, and the guitar is mint.

Hardware feels of good quality, the tuning stability (currently just been using E Standard) is great. I've owned some cheaper acoustics before by Ibanez and Fender and must say this feels like a natural step up in quality in line with the price.

I will say the electric capabilities are a bit middling. Not bad but not amazing either. Just as an acoustic though it has a great bright, snappy sound.

Last of all, and probably the reason you're looking at this guitar anyway: the style. It looks amazing in the checkerboard finish, the Hellcat inlays, and tasteful signature on the truss rod cover. After a month of playing its held up well, no cosmetic or functional damage at all.

Highly recommended at just £369!
