Fender Malibu Special Acoustic-Electric Guitar - Mahogany

True Classic Right in Your Hands!
Tap into the design, playability, and tone of a true legend in acoustic guitars with the Malibu Special Acoustic-Electric Guitar from Fender. Sporting the vintage Malibu body design, the Special features a solid mahogany top with natural solid mahogany back and sides that combine for a deeply satisfying blend of high-, mid-, and low-range tone that suits just about any style of music you want to explore. A smooth mahogany neck with a pau ferro fingerboard conjures that classic Fender neck feel and response. And when you are ready to plug in, a Fishman-designed pickup/preamp system kicks out sweet amplified acoustic tone.



Legendary neck
The Fender neck has become legendary among guitarists of nearly all genres. The Malibu Special carries the torch for that legendary feel with an incredibly comfortable slim-taper, C-shaped profile. This cut is ultra-friendly on the fret hand, letting you slide up and down the neck for leads as well as chords in all positions. This incredible neck is complemented visually with the classic matching, painted 6-in-line headstock — a much-loved design here at Sweetwater.





Stellar amplified tone
The Fishman-designed pickup/preamp system in the Malibu Special Fishman comes complete with an easy-to-read digital tuner that makes onstage tuning super easy. This system also includes frequency (Bass, Middle, and Treble) and phase controls, which have been voiced specifically for the Special.





Fine appointments
The Malibu Special has been decked out with fine appointments that add to its tone and visual appeal. To begin, an aged white binding adds a beautiful complement to the woods and body color on this awesome instrument. A genuine pau ferro modern Viking bridge also enhances overall tone and resonance. In addition, quartersawn scalloped X-bracing adds stellar resonance support as well as extra durability.
