Description
True creativity demands something new, like the inspiring sound and feel of the Malibu player. The exclusive shape of the small body, with its short scale, gives it a slightly slinkier feel, encouraging you to seek out new chords and melodies. It’s as stunning as it looks, with a solid, high-gloss metallic spruce top and mahogany back and sides, as well as a matching painted headstock with 6 in-line keys and cream binding giving it an electrifying look. Bold styling and a balanced, articulate sound make the Malibu Player a natural partner on stage and in the studio.
The same uncompromising attitude that gives the Malibu Player its unmistakable, deadly character is evident in every aspect of its construction. It features an optimized bracing for reduced mass and superior resonance, a Graph Tech® NuBone® saddle and bridge for improved sustain, and a Fishman® preamp system that makes it easy to plug in without sacrificing the guitar’s natural sound. The lightweight mahogany neck has a slim, comfortable and easy-to-play “C”-shaped profile that suits all playing styles, and its walnut fingerboard and bridge further enhance the instrument’s vibrant sound. With superb playability, a distinctive look and an unmistakable Fender vibe, the Malibu Player is an instrument for a new generation of intrepid players.
