Solid Concert
Thanks in particular to its solid construction, the Fender Limited Edition California Vintage Malibu Antigua produces a full sound that effortlessly asserts itself in any environment. Meanwhile, the Sitka sprucetop and Ovangkolback and sides ensure a balanced sound character, producing brilliant trebles and rich basses. The result is a sound that is ideal for a variety of playing techniques - from delicate fingerpicking to powerful strumming.
Modern 'V' neck profile
Meanwhile, the carefully shaped okoume neck with a modern ' V' neck profile offers optimal playability. This ergonomic neck profile allows for effortless handling and fast runs along the fingerboard, ideal for players who appreciate both powerful rhythms and virtuoso solos. The Ovangkolfingerboard not only contributes to a brilliant sound, but also ensures a smooth playing feel. The natural hardness and fine grain of the wood enhance tonal clarity and provide a responsive surface that allows every note played to ring out with extreme precision. The shortened scale length of 635 mm should also be emphasized, which ensures softer playability due to a lower string tension. The player-friendly design is complemented by nickel-plated vintage-style tuners, which are not only visually appealing, but also ensure excellent tuning stability and fine adjustability. They fit seamlessly into the classic appearance of the instrument and at the same time guarantee the reliability of modern hardware.
Fishman Presys VT Plus pickup
Equipped with the Fishman Presys VT Plus pickup, the guitar also offers excellent performance on stage and at Studio. Fishman is known for its outstanding pickup technology, which is why this system also offers excellent sound quality. This enables an absolutely natural guitar sound that brings out every nuance of your playing perfectly. The discreet control panel is positioned directly in the sound hole, allowing you to adjust the volume and tone directly on the instrument. This intuitive arrangement allows the guitar's output to be adjusted quickly and efficiently without interfering with your playing or interrupting the harmonic appearance of the guitar.
Antigua finish
The design of the Fender Limited Edition California Vintage Malibu Antigua is also impressive in every respect. The striking high-gloss Antigua finish features a subtle blend of soft cream and gray tones, which, together with the decorative pearloid block inlays, gives the guitar an elegant appearance. This is complemented by the Antigua pickguard, which not only provides practical protection for the guitar top against scratches and wear, but also complements the overall design wonderfully. The characteristic Fender headstock with proud Fender logo skilfully rounds off the stylish design and creates an instantly recognizable visual accent that distinguishes guitars of the Fender brand worldwide.
