Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
The Malibu CE is a guitar that has the sound of a much more expensive guitar. The quality and appearance is overall fantastic and knowing it is a Fender support is a call away. For beginners the low string height is a plus for ease of play. The scaled down version is right for ease in position of hands. Zzounds will answer any question you have with the best customer service I have found anywhere. If you are a beginner or an experienced player you will have fun playing this guitar.

Musical Background:

Home player, have one other guitar, played when I was young, just started back since I have retired from work.

Musical Style:

Country, Christian
