I love my Hellcat! I was shopping for an acoustic last year and chose it over a PRS at twice the price. It's an amazing guitar. Not sure about the new checkerboard pattern though.
The checkerboard one is hard to get they sell out fast. Been wanting one for years and finally got one thru a reseller on reverb but I have to wait to get it. Super excited
Let me tell you guys something... The specs speak for themselves... But these guitars can take a BEATING and they just sound better and better, even with damage. Not sure what the tuners are, but you can knock the guitar over on a wood floor, or pull the headstock out of a pile of clothes, getting all suck... And it will stay in tune. Buy one of these and buy one now.
