Malibu™ SCE
0968005
Like its cousin, the Kingman™, the Malibu is a vintage and once-popular Fender acoustic model that now returns in cutaway form as the Malibu SCE.
This Malibu model has been updated with a smaller body shape, solid spruce top, solid mahogany back, classic Fender keys, Fender Stratocaster® headstock (of course), soft V-shaped neck just like those found on vintage Stratocaster guitars, and Fishman® Classic IV T electronics with built-in tuner. Surprisingly loud and perfect for electric guitarists
