The body of the FSR Malibu Player Surf Green from the FSR (Fender Special Run) limited series consists of a solid Sitka spruce front and a mahogany back and sides. The Fender Malibu's more compact body and shorter gauge offer ideal playing characteristics for players with smaller fingers, while also challenging chords in normally unplayable fingerings. Attached to the body is a mahogany neck with a pleasingly narrower Slim C profile inspired by the design of Fender electric guitar necks. The walnut fingerboard surface is divided by twenty frets and white position dots. The instrument's resonant qualities are enhanced by the optimized reduced ribbing (Scalloped X).
The instrument's voicing is provided by Fishman electronics with a two-band equalizer and a built-in tuner in the guitar's back. The strings are mounted across the Graph Tech NuBone zero fret in the company's nickel mechanics and walnut fingerboard (Modern Viking). The guitar's stylish look is accentuated by the Surf Green color scheme, a three-layer pickguard in gold, a rosette composed of black and white rings and the logo on the headstock.
