Fender Malibu Player Acoustic-Electric

Fender Malibu™ Player Acoustic-Electric

The Malibu Player isn’t your typical acoustic guitar — it’s a small-body, short-scale acoustic-electric with a distinctly Fender attitude, built for players who want something that looks different, feels different, and inspires them to play differently. With a solid spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and Fender’s iconic 6-in-line headstock, the Malibu Player brings Fender’s electric guitar DNA into the acoustic world in a package that’s equally at home on stage, in the studio, or on the couch.
