This is a great value purchase. Out of the box, there are several recommendations: 1. New strings 2. The action needs lowered, I had my local guitar shop set it up for me 3. I replaced the plastic bridge pins with brass. This is a personal preference. This guitar sings. I am so very happy with the sound. It is a big sound from a small body. You will not be sorry with this purchase. This guitar is a keeper.

Love it! Neck is a bit small for me since I'm used to Spanish classical guitars. Love the sound, a crisp clean sound compared to my classic. Details on the neck look awesome and the matte finish makes it stand out from all the other guitars I own. It's an acoustic guitar with attitude!!!

I bought this guitar for a general play anywhere utility instrument. After receiving and tuning it up, I was impressed with the sound and action right out of the box. The overall feel is of a much higher priced guitar. I was worried it wouldn't project much sound..wrong! I was even more impressed after playing through my Blackheart 5watt amp, the sound was unbelievable! Highly recommend this gem at a very affordable price.

I was very surprised at how nice this guitar is. It has more of a crisp sound than it does Bass. I am very satisfied with the price as well. It has such a unique design too. It's ironic because I am Christian and play worship music with a guitar called the "Hellcat".

I actually got a Blimished model for cheaper from Zzounds and strait out of the box was very impressed with the quality and look of this guitar! Even though it is a "thinner" acoustic than normal, the mahogony top, back and sides really make this baby sing. It projects well and sounds amazing plugged into a nice clean amp. The old school look of this thing is the cherry on top. This is truely a beautiful guitar. The maple neck and inlays really make it "pop". If you are looking for a vintage look and great sounding electric-acoustic, this is the one for you. Buy it! you will love it!

My title says it all in my humble opinion. This has become the guitar I am most likely to pick up and play, noodle or practice. My Taylor sits all the time now. My electrics are also getting a lot less time. I started with Electrics. I always wanted an acoustic that played, fit and felt like my electrics. Well, that is nigh on impossible. However, this Hellcat comes as close as you can ask for. I also wanted a smaller body. For practice, I don't really need the volume of a big dreadnaught. Of all the other Acoustics I tried of similar size, The Hellcat just sounded best. It's a balanced tone, not too bright, not too boomy, scooped, etc. The neck is one of more comfortable I've found. reminds me of my Taylor, as well as my Les Pauls. Satin finish is very fast to play. Also has a nice radius that I like. Body fits and feels nice. Really comfortable to play. Love the Mahogany grain all the way around. The guitar is really beautiful look to it. I could do with, or without the hellcat and skull. But, they do set it apart. The Fishman electronics were MADE for this guitar. They sound great together. Ran through my Zoom A3, the Hellcat sounds glorious. A part of me knows my Taylor is a better guitar. But, I am likely selling it, as it is NOT a better guitar for me. The Hellcat, fits well, plays extremely well, is comfortable, and sounds good. I'm giving it a 5, because at this price, it rates a 5. If it were $100-200 more, then a 4.

I normally play an Ovation, but after having back and neck surgery, I wanted something a bit smaller. This guitar is perfect. The action is smooth, no fret buzz. The sound is deeper and richer than any other electric/acoustic I have ever played. Super-easy to play bar chords. I have recorded with this guitar, and it sounds sooo good. Great guitar for anyone, beginner or pro.

Overall decent build quality for the wood parts.However, tuners are low quality and will be replaced soon with better ones. Some tuners feel solid while others are kinda loose, even after tightening the screws.The pickguard is detaching on several sides. It feels too thick to graciously adapt to the shape of the soundboard.The saddle underside was not flat at all and had to sand it flat to ensure proper contact with the piezo pickup.The nut slots were way too deep and had to remove quite a bit of material from the nut top to bring it to a reasonable working size.The fretboard has a hairline crack and there is quite a bit of glue residue at the fret ends. Some small areas of the fretboard are not well finished and it really looks horrible.The rosette is a simple decal.The bridge pins were forced in the bridge holes with such a force that one broke off while I was trying to extract it. Had to push it out from the inside of the body. Turns out the holes were not properly gauged for those pins.The sound is OK I guess, maybe a little thin (mind you I mounted extra light strings), it is pretty well intonated (but not perfect).Overall I was pretty disappointed with all these little problems I found, as I was expecting a better build quality and more attention to detail for a guitar of this price range.I also own a Fender F-85 from the 70s, and its build quality cannot be compared to this one.
