Suitable for any playing style, the mahogany neck features a comfortable, slim-taper "C"-shaped profile, inspired by Fender's electric legacy. It also includes a premium Fender- and Fishman®-designed preamp system voiced specifically for the Malibu's body shape, allowing you to reproduce the guitar's natural sound when plugged into an amplifier.
