Unique Malibu Body Shape

First launched back in the '60s, the attractive Malibu shape has a rich heritage for its distinctive contours and bright colours. The slim parlour-style shape creates a bright and clear voice that's ideal for fingerpicking, but also suits a variety of other musical styles.

In addition, its natural treble rich character makes it great at standing above a mix of other acoustic instruments for a sound that cuts through.

Expect exceptional tone, volume and dynamic range

With a solid spruce top, the Malibu Player offers you exceptional control over your dynamics and projection, while also providing a crisp clarity in every note. It's a hugely popular choice as a topwood for acoustics owing to its outstanding resonance and reaching projection, meaning even softly fingerpicked notes will be heard clearly.

Sleek Fender playability

The Malibu Player boasts a slightly shorter 24" scale length and a slim "C" shaped neck for an impeccably sleek feel. This slender design takes the effort away from the higher-string tension of acoustics, allowing you to easily slot into tricky chord shapes and transition around the fretboard fluidly.

Outstanding reliability with a tilt-back headstock

It looks good, sounds great - and will stay that way with minimal maintenance! The Malibu Player's tilt-back headstock and Fender designed bridge and machine heads ensure tuning stability, maximising sustain over long practice sessions.

Whether you're a novice player or a seasoned veteran looking for an acoustic with a unique sound, the Fender Malibu Player Electro Acoustic is the perfect choice.
