A lot has changed since the early 50’s, including the performance needs of musicians. The MALIBU™ series captures the essence of those early bolt-on neck guitars, in a sleek updated package. The slightly reduced body size makes it lighter and more manageable on those extended club sets. We also made the neck pocket deeper for a superior neck to body contact. The compact, angled back headstock also provides enhanced performance, not to mention the ability to stay in tune.

The angled back headstock produces greater string bearing pressure at the nut. This results in improved attack and sustain.

Duncan Designed™ pickups capture that unique vintage tone: a combination of glassy clarity and warmth.

The alder body and maple neck combine to produce clarity, dripping with tone.
