True creativity requires something new, like the inspiring sound and feel of the Malibu player. The exclusive small body shape, with its short range, gives it a slightly more "slinky" feel, encouraging you to seek out new chords and melodies. It's as stunning as it looks, with a gleaming metallic solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides, plus a matching painted 6-in-line key headstock and cream binding giving it an electrifying appearance. Bold styling and balanced, articulate sound make the Malibu Player a natural partner on stage and in the studio.
The same no-compromise attitude that gives the Malibu Player its unique and deadly character is found in every aspect of its construction. It features optimized bracing for reduced mass and superior resonance, a Graph Tech® NuBone® nut and bridge for better sustain, and a Fishman® preamp system that makes it easy to plug in. without sacrificing the natural sound of the guitar. The lightweight mahogany neck features a slim, comfortable, easy-to-play "C"-shaped profile that suits all playing styles, and its walnut fingerboard and bridge further enhance the vibrant tone of this instrument. With superb playability, distinctive looks and an unmistakable Fender vibe, the Malibu Player is an instrument for a new generation of intrepid players.
