Up for sale is this 2021 Fender Malibu Classic in Aged Cognac Burst — a lightly played, nearly perfect example from Fender's California Traditional Series that's as clean as they come. The Malibu is a Fender-exclusive body shape with roots going back to 1965, and the Classic spec doesn't cut any corners — solid Sitka spruce top with quartersawn scalloped X-bracing over solid mahogany back and sides, bone nut and saddle, and that distinctive tilt-back Strat-style 6-in-line headstock with maple binding and matching rosette that gives it an unmistakably Fender personality. The slim-taper "C" mahogany neck with pau ferro fingerboard plays effortlessly and will feel immediately familiar to any electric player. It's fully stage-ready with the Fender/Fishman-designed preamp system voiced specifically for the Malibu body shape, complete with onboard tuner, 3-band EQ, and phase control — all working perfectly. Frets are perfect, guitar is in excellent condition throughout. Comes with all case candy as pictured and the original Fender deluxe gig bag with padded backpack straps and rubber boot protection.

Condition Expectations

You are purchasing a used instrument, not a professionally set-up guitar. Minor adjustments (intonation, action, tuning stability, etc.) are expected and are the buyer's responsibility. “Used” condition is not grounds for a return.

Communication

Questions are welcome before purchase. Message me anytime — I'd rather answer ten questions upfront than deal with a misunderstanding after the sale.
