Fender - Malibu Player Arctic Gold - 0970722080
True creativity requires something new, something like the inspiring sound and feel of the Malibu Player. The exclusive small-body shape’s short scale gives it a slightly “slinkier” feel, encouraging you to reach for new chords and melodies. It looks as stunning as it sounds, with a gloss metallic solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides, as well as a matching painted 6-in-line headstock and crème binding giving it a shot of electrifying attitude. The bold style and balanced, articulate sound make the Malibu Player a natural partner on stage and in the studio.

The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Solid tonewood construction for rich, resonant tone improving with age. Responsive top rewarding dynamic playing and fingerstyle technique. Natural acoustic voice connecting player to music without electronic barrier. Quality construction built for years of regular playing.
Play this guitar unplugged as much as possible - the solid wood top needs vibration to open up and mature. Daily playing accelerates this beautifully.
At this level, you get tonewoods and craftsmanship that serve you from practice through performance. An instrument that grows with you and rewards the time you invest.
