Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Having never played a Hellcat or even seen one in person, I was somewhat anxious to see what I'd bought. A few things: 1) the tuner and electronics are Fishman, but they're different from the picture. There are very small knobs to turn for bass, mid, and high instead of the sliders. It's very hard to see the position in low stage lighting. The tuner is more of a round display with red and green indicator lights. I like it better. Also, the battery compartment is located separately on the end of the guitar along with the jack. Not a bad design, actually. 2) the bridge pins are not black with white dots, but white with black dots. No big deal. 3) Fender advertises EXP 11's for strings. It came with a non-coated set of 12's. I changed the strings to Elixir 11's and it's much better. I think I'll play through this set of strings and then have the bridge shaved a little to lower the action. It's a little higher than I like. On the plus side, the finish and look of the guitar are first-rate and it really stays in tune. I've received nothing but complements on it and it's unique - so far nobody else in my area has one! I was surprised to see a "made in China" sticker in the soundhole, but it's really a quality guitar with a great sound, not too bright and not too muddy. Really shines through an amp, too. I wasn't expecting a great acoustic electric under $300, but this one easily takes on others twice the price. Recommended.
