Full Description

Rumbling acoustic richness

It's time to experience the sonic benefits of a solid top, and it's truly blissful. With a solid Sitka spruce top, the Malibu proudly boasts undeniable versatility, as well as crisp articulation with a strong, riveting response. So your individuality as a player always shines through.

The Fender Malibu also features laminated mahogany back and sides, adding warmth, resonance, and a familiar punch to your sound. Laminated tonewoods are perfect if you're constantly on the go with your instrument. They prevent the instrument from warping within different climate changes, yet still provide a rich, melodic sound. Plus, this desirable mixture of tonewoods delivers that sought-after, classic acoustic sound that's defined decades of music. This is an instrument that will never interrupt your creative flow...

Exclusive and unique - Malibu style

Compact and comfortable. Completely exclusive to Fender, this Player Electro Acoustic has a Malibu body. And, with its shorter scale length, as well as looser string tension, the Malibu has a slinkier feel. Explore new techniques and reach for new chords with immense comfort.

You know it plays beautifully, but it also has a killer Fender acoustic character. This no-compromise body might have a smaller size, but with optimised bracing the Malibu Player has great volume, projection, as well as superior resonance and sustain. Additionally, the Malibu Player also produces a balanced, articulate tone. An ideal partner for live work - lose yourself with Fender.
