![]() The disadvantage is the lack of versatility since you can't create the same vibrato effects as with tremolo bridges. Also, the fact that the bridge is directly attached to the body will help to increase sustain. This makes it extremely easy when changing strings because you don't need to adjust anything besides tuning the guitar. Walnut: The advantage of fixed bridges is that they don't require any kind of set-up. So you can expect well built pickups with great sound that shouldn't need an upgrade anytime soon. This guitar comes with pickups from one of the top brands: Fishman. Since it's quite expensive and rare, it's mostly used for guitar tops. Walnut Fretboard: It's a hard wood with a chocolate color that is often used to give an elegant finish. When it comes to tone, it highlights the mid and high frequencies. However, it's also used for fretboards, bodies and tops due to its light color, resistance and beautiful patterns. It's heavy, strong and compact, which makes it great for necks. Maple Neck: This is one of the most popular types of wood used in all kinds of guitars. The downside about this type of wood is that it's relatively heavy. This red-looking wood Mahogany is found in Africa and Central America and has great sustain and a warm tone due to its high density. Mahogany Top, Back and Sides: This is the type of wood found in many top-of-the-line guitars, so that's a positive point for the build quality. Unfortunately, the Fender Tim Armstrong Hellcat has the same radius across the board. ![]() Additionally, guitars with a larger radius may require higher action (the distance between the strings and the fretboard) in order to avoid buzzing sounds when fretted notes are played.Ĭompound radius fingerboards give the best of both worlds. Additionally, the increased radius can make string bends easier to execute.Ī disadvantage of this type of guitar is that it can be more difficult to control when playing at high speeds some players may find that their hands “slide off” the fretboard more easily. This can be especially helpful for players with large hands or who want to use wide vibrato techniques. The main advantage of an 11.81-inches fretboard radius guitar is that it provides more room for the fingers to move around on the fretboard. Here's an image comparing this guitar's fretboard radius to other popular choices: Fender Tim Armstrong Hellcat's fretboard radius compared to other guitars The Fender Tim Armstrong Hellcat has a 11.81" fingerboard radius. However, most people seem to agree that a more curved (lower) radius will make it easier to play chords while a less curved (higher) radius is better for soloing and bending. When it comes to fingerboard radius, personal preference will dictate which one is better for you. All Acoustic Guitars With C Neck Profile.However, thinner necks are also weaker and will need adjustment more often than a thicker neck. Thin necks like this make it easier to move your hand across the neck and it helps when playing fast solos, especially if you like to leave your thumb free while playing high on the fretboard. It's generally a thin neck that doesn't get in your way when playing fast, but that also has enough mass to give your hands a comfortable grip for chords if they aren't too big. The reason is that they feel good in most hands. C-shaped necks like this have been the most popular for the last years. This is a highly subjective thing, but most players indeed prefer certain types of necks (like Cs and Ds) because they feel nice in most hands. Every difference will completely change the feeling and comfortability of the neck. The neck profile tells you the thickness (neck depth) and shape in cross section. Neck Profile Fender Tim Armstrong Hellcat's neck profile ![]() It will also be less likely to produce fret buzzing and rattling when strumming hard. Since the distance between bridge and nut is relatively long, strings will feel stiff and more difficult to bend, but the tone will feel brighter. ![]() This is considered a long scale, but slightly shorter than what's commonly found in acoustic guitars. Here's the Fender Tim Armstrong Hellcat's 25.3" scale length compared to other common sizes: Fender Tim Armstrong Hellcat's scale length (at the top) compared to other popular sizes A longer scale length means longer distance between frets, brighter tone and more string tension-which means lower action, but more difficult bending of the strings. It can tell you a lot about the overall playability and tone of the instrument. Scale length is the distance the strings will span between the bridge and the nut. This was recorded from some online retailers that publish the weight of the guitars they sell. We found that the Fender Tim Armstrong Hellcat weighs between 4.5lbs (2kgs) and 4.6lbs (2.1kgs). ![]()
