You can just feel the surf pounding when you look at Fender’s vintage-vibe California Series Malibu SCE folk-style cutaway acoustic. It’s a blast to play, and with its smaller compact body, it’s perfect for beginners and pros alike. But make no mistake—electric players too will feel right at home with the soft C-shaped neck and Strat® guitar headstock. Other features include a new pickguard shape, classy block inlays, scalloped bracing, traditional bridge and a Fishman® Classic 4T preamp with tuner for all sorts of groovy tonal possibilities. Perfect Fender enthusiasts, fans of vintage-style guitars, players who want a different look and vibe and anyone who wants to ride the wave of Fender’s rich musical history and SoCal lifestyle!
