Suitable for any playing style, the mahogany neck features a comfortable, slim "C" profile, inspired by Fender's electric heritage. It also includes a premium preamp system designed by Fender and Fishman® expressed specifically for the body shape of this Malibu, allowing you to reproduce the guitar's natural sound when connected to an amplifier. The Malibu Special's performance is thanks to its build quality, with scalloped and vertical grain X bracing for superior resonance, an improved bone nut and saddle, and a tilt-back headstock for greater sustain. Elegant maple binding, matching maple rosette, and a straight-6 headstock are authentic quintessential Fender details of the Malibu. With excellent comfort and unique aesthetics, the Malibu Special resonates with those destined to stand out from the crowd.
