Fender California Malibu Vintage Acoustic-Electric Guitar Black

Description

The Fender California Malibu Vintage acoustic-electric guitar draws directly from its mid-century origins with a retro visual vibe, adding 21st-century performance and a rich, refined acoustic tone?a true modern alternative with classic Fender heritage. Engineered with an innovative Performance-X bracing pattern, the approachable concert-sized body of the Fender California Malibu Vintage is lightly crafted with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid ovangkol back and sides to effortlessly produce a sweet, focused voice with exceptional nuance and balance. An ergonomic modern “V” profile was chosen for the the okoume neck along with a short 25″ scale length for warm tonal response, and a tilt-back 6-in-line headstock with a maple headcap for a distinctive look born from Fender?s electric guitar DNA.

Other notable details of the California Malibu Vintage include a bound ovangkol fingerboard with pearloid block inlays for a throwback look, vintage-style tuning machines for accurate tuning, and a bone nut and saddle for superior harmonic character. Designed for the performer, the onboard Fishman Sonitone Plus preamp system features seamless soundhole-mounted controls that blend an undersaddle piezo and internal body transducer to allow faithful and reliable reproduction of the guitar?s natural sound when plugged into an amplifier or recording device.

A vintage-style hardshell case is included.
