Two Words—Dick Dale. Yes, the man who helped create the sound of surf music that defined a generation is at it again with the introduction of his signature Malibu guitar. He designed this beautiful instrument with painful attention to detail including the dual matching pickguards, 3" body depth for a more comfortable playing and less feedback when plugged in, Fishman pickup system with onboard tuner, and of course the reverse headstock to help you surf those signature Dick Dale licks.
Built on a thin folk body design, this left-handed Malibu SCE acoustic-electric guitar features a laminated spruce top, laminated mahogany back and sides, and scalloped X-bracing, offering well-balanced tone, with plenty of punchy projection. The maple neck, rosewood compensated bridge, and rosewood fretboard add clarity, and the vintage-style Fender tuners keep the six-string in precise tuning from song to song. Featuring a surfin' red paint job on the top and back makes the Dick Dale signature guitar a perfect instrument for sitting beach side by the campfire with your pals.
Other desirable features on the Fender Dick Dale guitar include the Stratocaster reverse headstock shape with Dick Dale signature, dual-action truss rod, dual pickguards, traditional Fender bridge, factory-mounted forward strap button with internal block reinforcement, white pearloid block inlays, checkerboard rosette, soft "C" shaped neck, multiple body bindings, bone nut and saddle, and a gloss finish completing the package. We estimate to have this product in stock on Feb 15, 2011.
