Disrupt the status quo with the Malibu Classic, a small-bodied, short-scale electro-acoustic guitar that offers a comfortable feel encouraging you to explore new chords and melodies. Featuring a solid spruce top and solid mahogany back and sides, the bold style and balanced, articulate sound make the Malibu Classic a natural partner on stage and in the studio. Suitable for any playing style, the mahogany neck has a comfortable, slim 'C' profile inspired by Fender's electric heritage. It also includes a premium preamp system designed by Fender and Fishman®, specifically voiced for the Malibu's body shape, allowing you to reproduce the guitar's natural sound when connected to an amplifier.
The uncompromising attitude of the Malibu Classic extends to its build quality, offering scalloped X-bracing for superior resonance, upgraded bone nut and saddle, and a slanted back support for enhanced stability. The elegant maple binding, matching maple rosette, and a 6-in-line headstock enhance the quintessential Fender vibe of the Malibu. With superb playability and a unique aesthetic, the Malibu Classic resonates with those destined to stand out from the crowd.
