The Malibu Player Sunburst is an electro-acoustic guitar with a smaller body and shorter gauge. This makes it a suitable choice for players with smaller fingers or, conversely, a challenge to play chords in normally unplayable fingerings. The body construction offers a time-tested combination of woods in the form of a solid Sitka spruce front top and a back and sides made from over-ply mahogany. A walnut fingerboard with twenty frets is glued to the mahogany neck, and white position dots make it easy to navigate. The instrument's resonant qualities are enhanced by the optimized reduced ribbing (Scalloped X), which also makes the instrument slightly lighter.
The guitar is equipped with Fishman electronics with integrated tuner, which does not degrade the natural acoustic sound of the instrument. Good resonance of the strings and tuning is guaranteed by their attachment through the saddle and the zero fret made of Graph Tech NuBone material in the company's nickel mechanics and walnut headstock in a stylish Modern Viking shape. The basic materials used are suitably complemented visually and practically by the sunburst top colour scheme, three-layer gold pickguard, two-ring rosette and headstock logo.
