Fender Malibu Player WN, Gold Pickguard, Natural

Inspired by the iconic models of Fender electric guitars, the California Player acoustic evokes the spirit of adventure and freedom from the west coast, inviting musicians to explore their individual creativity and disrupt the status quo.

Made with a solid spruce top with X-bracing and back and sides made of sapele, the compact salon-sized body of the Malibu Player produces a sweet and articulate voice that encourages players to seek new chords and melodies. The nato neck is designed with a slim 'C' shape profile that is easy to play, a short scale length of 24 inches, and a 6-in-line tilted back headstock for a distinctive look born from the DNA of Fender electric guitars. Notable details include vintage-style tuning machines for fine and precise tuning, a nut and saddle made of GraphTech® NuBone® for detailed harmonic character. With elegantly integrated controls for a sleek and modern look, the Fishman® Flex onboard preamp system allows faithful reproduction of the guitar's natural sound when connected to an amplifier or recording device.

Bold, attractive, and unique, the California series instruments make no compromises, balancing effortless playability, superior sound, and remarkable style for those who aspire to play something different.
