Description

Disrupt the status quo with the Malibu Player, a small-body, short scale acoustic-electric with a comfortable feel that will encourage you to reach for new chords and melodies. Featuring a painted solid spruce top, painted mahogany back and sides, and matching painted 6-in-line headstock, the bold style and balanced, articulate sound make the Malibu Player a natural partner on stage and in the studio. Suitable for any playing style, the mahogany neck features a comfortable, slim-taper "C"-shaped profile, inspired by Fender’s electric legacy. The same no-compromise attitude that gives the Malibu Player its uniquely killer vibe extends to every aspect of its construction. It features optimized bracing for superior resonance, a GraphTech NuBone nut and saddle, and a Fishman preamp system that allows you to reproduce the guitar’s natural sound when plugged into an amplifier. With superb playability and unique aesthetics, the Malibu Player resonates with those destined to stand out from the crowd.

  • Sounds good, looks good, I love it
Color: Aged Cognac Burst
I had a lot of people warn me not to get an acoustic from Fender, but I happened upon this one during a crazy good sale and decided to give it a try, figuring I could return it if I hated it. Well, I love it. It arrived ready to play, no work needed. It sounds lovely. Neck feels great. I really like the 24 inch scale length. I get why some people say it feels small, but for playing on the couch or when traveling, I think it’ll be perfect. ... show more

  • Plays and sounds great out of the box
Color: Aqua Splash
If you're looking for a pretty guitar with a clear, bright sound then look no further. The only Con is that it makes my Alverez dreadnought feel like I'm holding a baseball bat by the wrong end when I play now

Color: Aqua Splash
MALIBU FENDER ELECTRIC ACOUSTIC AQUA Novice-first guitar I've owned and learning for the first time. I'm left-handed and the description said left but they sent me a right-handed. So I just forced myself to learn right because I didn't want to deal with the return. So please fix your description!! It's a pretty guitar. I don't have much to compare it to. It's probably not as full sounding as a regular acoustic guitar. However, I bought an amp and it definitely improved the overall sound. I also bought a cable to connect to the AMP and really like the angle type. The battery for the built-in tuner was low so I downloaded the Fender Tuner app and it sounds a lot better. I would say it's a great guitar for a beginner like myself. I'm really enjoying playing my new Fender Malibu and highly recommend it. ... show more

  • It's a Fender
Color: Aqua Splash
Yeah, Fender cut a few corners, but the electrics work, the body is solid, the neck is straight. Sounds good and the finish is complete and looks great

  • Great guitar for the money
Color: Aged Cognac Burst
I bought this guitar on sale and it is easily the best value guitar I have owned. Very nice features at a great price. The binding is very beautiful up close. Super happy with this purchase.

  • Love the cute design but not the best sound on the market
Color: Aqua Splash
I absolutely love the guitars looks, but with this your choosing looks over quality (for the price). The low e-string twangs with heavy strums, so your range of sound is restricted. Additionally, the built in tuner is low quality. You can get a much nicer guitar from Costco for about 50 bucks less, but it's not nearly as aesthetically pleasing. Don't get me wrong, I like the guitar, but would go with Costco if I could go back in time. ... show more
