Fender Tim Armstrong Left-Handed Hellcat Acoustic-Electric Guitar

No longer available at zZounds
This left-handed guitar is modeled after the same left-handed 60s Fender acoustic that Rancid's Tim Armstrong uses to write all of the band's punk anthems.

Based on Tim Armstrong's beat-up old '60s Fender acoustic - on which he writes all of the songs for his legendary punk band, Rancid - the left-handed Tim Armstrong Hellcat acoustic is ready to slam. Armstrong has given his acoustic some modern mojo with pearl acrylic "Hellcat" logos on the third, fifth and seventh frets, with a pair of skulls adorning the twelfth fret. Other features include a solid mahogany top, scalloped bracing and Fishman(R) preamp.

Overall: 5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
If you are looking for guitar that is great for practice, small gigs, or jamming in general then this is a great guitar for you. Beautiful design with the only real issue being that the action is super high. Get it adjusted and you will love this guitar. Electronics aren't great but they get the job done.
