Fender Malibu Special Matte Black With Bag

Description

FENDER MALIBU SPECIAL MATTE BLACK WITH GIG BAG

True creativity requires something new, something like the inspiring sound and feel of the Malibu Special. The unique short scale of the small body gives it a slightly "looser" feel, encouraging you to try out new chords and melodies. It looks as incredible as it sounds, with a fully painted solid Sitka spruce top and painted solid mahogany back and sides, along with a matching painted 6-in-line headstock and maple binding, which give it an electrifying edge. Its bold style and balanced, articulate sound make the Malibu Special a natural companion on stage and in the studio.

The Malibu Special emanates an irresistible feel and an unexpected style that will surely turn heads wherever you go. Its uncompromising attitude even extends to its top-notch build quality, featuring optimized bracing for reduced mass and superior resonance, as well as an upgraded bone nut and saddle for exceptional sustain. It also features a Fender and Fishman®-designed preamp system with voicing specific to the Malibu body shape, allowing you to plug into an amplifier without sacrificing the guitar's natural sound. The lightweight mahogany neck features a comfortable, subtly tapered "C" profile that's easy to play and suitable for any style, while the pau ferro fretboard and bridge further enhance the instrument's rich tone. With its superb playability, distinctive look, and unmistakable Fender touch, the Malibu Special is as unique as the musician who plays it.
