Taking inspiration from Leo Fender's 60s designs, the Fender Malibu Vintage Electro-Acoustic is a great addition to the California Series. With its all-solid construction, period correct Malibu concert shape, Fishman Sonitone electronics and a selection of modern appointments, the Malibu Vintage delivers 21st century performance with classy retro vibe.
The body of the Fender Malibu Vintage is constructed with a solid sitka spruce top paired with solid ovangkol for the back and sides, engineered with an innovative Performance X bracing. Its tone is effortlessly sweet, with a focused voice and exceptional balance.
The okoume neck has an ergonomic modern V" profile along with a short 25" scale length for warm tonal response. The fingerboard hosts 20 frets and eye-catching Pearloid block inlays. A 6-in-line headstock with a maple headcap delivers a distinctive look born from Fenders electric guitar DNA.
If you're a performer or need a guitar for recording the Malibu Vintage is sure to please. Fitted with an onboard Fishman Sonitone Plus preamp system you have access to discrete soundhole-mounted controls that blend an undersaddle piezo and internal body transducer to allow faithful and reliable reproduction of the guitars natural sound when plugged into an amplifier or recording device.
Other features include vintage-style tuning machines for smooth, accurate tuning, and a bone nut and saddle for superior harmonic character.
The guitar comes complete with vintage style hard case.
