Fender Malibu Player WN Natural at a glance

With the Fender Malibu Player WN Natural, the traditional US manufacturer expands its California series with a compact mini Western guitar. The Malibu guitar is now available in a new tonewood combination with a solid spruce top and a laminated sapele body for every playing style. As a result, the model produces brilliant tones with warm basses and mids that guarantee pure playing pleasure. At the same time, the Fishman Flex pickup system allows for amplified playing, so the instrument is not only a great choice for leisure time but also enriches stage and recording studio with its great sound. Meanwhile, the classic Natural high-gloss finish combined with the signature Fender headstock will delight any fan, while a gold-coloured pickguard, double-ring rosette and single-ply bindings add tasteful visual highlights.

Exquisite tonewoods

For a well-balanced sound, Fender relies on a solid spruce top popular in guitar making for the Malibu Player WN Natural, which provides an assertive sound for clear highs with a fast response, in addition to its improved vibration characteristics. The laminated sapele body complements this and warm mids and basses, creating a high tonal balance.

Excellent playability

In addition to its strong sound, the easy-grip mini guitar also impresses with its distinctive playability in the form of a nato neck with a slim 'C' profile that fits excellently in the hand. In addition, the gripping hand glides effortlessly over the walnut fingerboard, whose 20 frets are provided with clearly visible dot inlays for orientation. The 609 mm scale length also contributes to easier playability, because thanks to its shortened design, less force is required when gripping, which is especially beneficial for still inexperienced fingers. At the same time, the 43 mm wide saddle and the compensated saddle made of Graph Tech NuBone as well as nickel-plated vintage-style machine heads ensure exceptionally clean intonation with high tuning stability.

Fishman pickup system

Even when connected to an amplifier, the guitar's natural sound comes through completely unaltered thanks to the Fishman Flex pickup system with preamp in the upper rib. By means of two controls, the sound can be optimally mixed for a mature stage sound.
