In collaboration with legendary luthier Roger Rossmeisl, Leo released several unique acoustic models that embodied the character that made Fender a symbol of the rock-and-roll revolution, including unmistakable headstock shapes, easy-to-play neck profiles and radical styling, changing the face of Fender Acoustics forever. Today's Fender California Vintage models draw directly from their mid-century origins with a retro visual vibe, adding 21st century performance and a rich, refined acoustic tone - a true modern alternative with classic Fender heritage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEngineered with an innovative Performance X™ bracing pattern, the approachable concert-sized body of the Fender California Vintage Malibu™ is lightly crafted with a solid Sitka spruce top and solid ovangkol back and sides to effortlessly produce a sweet, focused voice with exceptional nuance and balance. An ergonomic modern \"V\" profile was chosen for the the okoume neck along with a short 25\" scale length for warm tonal response, and a tilt-back 6-in-line headstock with a maple headcap for a distinctive look born from Fender's electric guitar DNA. Other notable details include a bound ovangkol fingerboard with pearloid block inlays for a throwback look, vintage-style tuning machines for smooth, accurate tuning, and a bone nut and saddle for superior harmonic character. Designed for the performer, the onboard Fishman® Presys VT Plus preamp system features seamless soundhole-mounted controls that blend an undersaddle piezo and internal body transducer to allow faithful and reliable reproduction of the guitar's natural sound when plugged into an amplifier or recording device. A vintage-style hardshell case is included.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBold, eye-catching and unique, California Series instruments make no compromises balancing standout style, superior sound and effortless playability for those who aspire to play something different.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul id=\"first-instance-shown-feature-bullets\" class=\"feature-bullets-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeriod-correct Malibu™ concert body shape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSolid Sitka spruce top, solid ovangkol back and sides\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eErgonomic modern \"V\" shape neck with tilt-back 6-in-line headstock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFishman® Presys VT Plus electronics with undersaddle piezo and internal body transducer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage-style hardshell case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadstockTilt-back Vintage Malibu\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck MaterialOkoume\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck FinishSatin Urethane with Gloss Urethane Headstock Face\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck ShapeModern \"V\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard Radius16\" (406.4 mm)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFingerboard MaterialOvangkol\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition InlaysPearloid Block\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSide DotsBlack\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Frets20\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString NutBone\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut Width1.69\" (43 mm)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut MaterialBone\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFret Size2mm\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale Length25\" (635 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBodySolid Sitka Spruce Top with Solid Ovangkol Back and Sides\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody FinishGloss Polyurethane\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody ShapeMalibu™\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody TopSolid Sitka Spruce\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody BindingAged White\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody BackSolid Ovangkol\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody SidesSolid Ovangkol\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody MaterialSolid Sitka Spruce Top with Solid Ovangkol Back and Sides\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCutawayNo\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBracingPerformance \"X\"\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosette2-Ring B\/W\/B\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePurflingBlack\/White\/Black\/White\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardware\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridgeVintage Viking\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge PinsWhite\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard1-Ply Gold\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware FinishNickel\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuning MachinesVintage-Style with Aged White Buttons\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStringsFender® 60L Phosphor Bronze (.012-.052 Gauges), PN 0730060403\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStrap ButtonsVintage-Style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElectronics\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControlsVolume, Blend (Body Pickup, Piezo)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecial ElectronicsFender®\/Fishman® Presys VT Plus Soundhole Pickup System\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43554256912463,"sku":"0971022306","price":1189.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0054\/9466\/9382\/files\/0971022306_fen_ins_frt_1_rr.png?v=1756492095","url":"https:\/\/shop.musicredone.com\/products\/fender-california-vintage-malibu-acoustic-guitar-black","provider":"RedOne Music Canada","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
