Fender Malibu Player Acoustic-electric Guitar - Natural

Serial Number: IWA2604644 Weight: 3 lbs 13 oz

A Perfect 6-string Muse for Songwriting

With roots originally planted in the mid-1960s, the stylish Malibu Player acoustic-electric guitar bridges the iconic good looks of Fender’s electrics with the songwriter- and campfire-friendly versatility of an acoustic. Sporting a spruce top with sapele back and sides, the Malibu Player provides a lightweight feel with a clear and balanced tonal response that’ll satisfy any player. Courtesy of a slim “C”-shaped neck profile, it’s a breeze to bust out chords and riffs for longer musical moments without feeling it take a toll your hand. Plus, an integrated Fishman Flex preamp system enables amplified acoustics when you need more volume, translated with phenomenally accurate tonal quality.

Sublime sound

We know you’ll dig the sound of the Malibu Player, since its sapele body comes topped with a layer of vibrant spruce. With these two tonewoods working together, brightness and balance is the name of the game. Some acoustic guitars suffer from a muddied wood tone that distracts from the intricacies of chord formations, riffs, and accents. But with the Malibu Player, songwriters have the ideal platform to explore all of their creative avenues in lively detail.

Effortless to play

A Sweetwater-favorite feature of the Malibu Player is its enticingly slim “C”-shaped nato neck profile, affording players exceptional comfort for their chording hand. Atop the neck is a walnut fingerboard for some added sustain, with a fret-to-body count of 14 and a buzz-less NuBone nut by Graph Tech. To top it all off, a set of nickel-plated vintage-style tuning machines, a Modern Viking walnut bridge, and a period-correct binding/pickguard combo supply a balance of functionality and style.

Amplify with Fishman electronics

Need some more volume? Playing a local gig? You can plug in with confidence with the Malibu Player over your shoulder! This acoustic-electric dons a mighty Fishman Flex preamp system, providing volume, tone, and phase controls. With the freedom to sculpt your sound just to your liking, you can rest easy knowing that everyone will hear the very best of what your Malibu Player has to offer, from beachside strums to basement jams and coffeehouse setlists.
