Overview
An X-braced spruce top over laminated sapele back and sides drives the compact parlor-sized body of the Fender Malibu Player. A Fishman preamp with integrated controls covers plugged-in use, and the nato neck has a slim C-shaped profile.
Fender electric styling in a small acoustic body, with a sweet and articulate voice, is the idea. Dimensions are in the listing, but the case and any included extras are not.
Who it's for
Players who like a tilt-back headstock, easy fretting and a compact parlor body that plugs in. Those needing a case, or the bass response of a bigger body, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Compact parlor body
- X-braced spruce top
- Slim C-shaped nato neck
- Fishman Flex preamp
- Laminated back and sides
- Case not listed
- Scale length stated two ways
Performance notes
A spruce top with X bracing drives the sweet, articulate voice the description mentions, and laminated sapele on the back and sides adds body. A short scale lowers string tension for easy fretting. The preamp reproduces the guitar's natural sound when plugged into an amplifier or recording device.
