The Hellcat 12 is the 12-string version which features an all-mahogany body, built-in Fishman electronics, and that classic bell-like 12-string sound. All-Mahogany 12-String Body […]

All-Mahogany 12-String Body

Every guitarist should have a 12-string in their arsenal. 12-string guitars have 6 pairs of strings, with the lower 3 usually tuned in pairs of octaves and the upper 3 pairs are tuned to the same note as each other. The result is a natural chorus effect that sounds like two guitars playing at once. With a 12-string you get a rich, full sound, with an incredible bell-like ring that'll instantly reinvigorate your playing. This guitar has laminate mahogany back and sides and a solid mahogany top. Mahogany is a tonewood known for its warmth and midrange emphasis which helps balance the characteristically bright 12-string sound.

Built-In Fishman Electronics

This guitar is ready to plug-in-and-play right out of the box thanks to the built-in electronics. The Hellcat 12 features a built-in pickup and preamp from Fishman, an industry-leader in acoustic guitar amplification. Whether you're looking to perform live or lay down some recordings you can simply plug it in and you're ready to go. The onboard preamp feaures controls for shaping your tone and a built-in tuner to ensure you always sound your best
