General

The elegant, parlor-style form of the Fender California Series Malibu Special electro-acoustic offers snug, Fender-grade playability and, due to its slightly slimmer-than-average shape, has a little less bass and considerable presence, which is also due to the solid okoume used to construct the top, back, and sides.

The Malibu Special: Lively, Comfortable, and Balanced

The warm acoustic sound of this California Series guitar is especially rich and packed with character, and has enough articulation to pull out every bit of playing dynamics, whether playing with the fingers or a pick. Since this model has been fitted with a slim C-profile neck and a nicely flat, 15-75-inch fretboard radius, the playability is comfortably snug and fast while, to ensure excellent on-stage sound, a Fishman-Fender-developed Flex System preamp complete with two pickups has been fitted and specifically calibrated for the body shape of the Malibu.
