General

Looking for a Fender Malibu with a slightly bigger body than standard? Meet the California Series Malibu Vintage. This sixties-inspired flattop not only features a concert-style body, but period-correct specs from top to bottom. At the same time, the Malibu Vintage boasts modern build quality and includes a matching vintage-style hardshell case.

The Malibu Vintage: Rich Acoustic Sound

The core sound of this all-solid, electro-acoustic guitar is comprised of vibrant acoustic resonance, ample natural harmonics and a sweet dose of sonic sparkle, courtesy of a Sitka spruce top and an ovangkol body. In terms of playability, the Malibu Vintage more than accommodates small-handed guitarists thanks to its modern V neck carve and 16-inch fretboard radius, while accurately amplified sound is taken care of by a Fishman Sonitone Plus preamp, an undersaddle piezo pickup and an internal body transducer.
