Chicago punks Alkaline Trio jumped in on the design of what must be one of Fenderâs most distinctive acoustic guitars yet, the Alkaline Trio Malibu acoustic-electric guitar. The instrument takes the classic â60s-era sun-and-fun Malibu folk-style acoustic and dresses it up with a graceful heart-shaped rosette designed by the band, as seen gracing the cover of 2011 acoustic album Damnesia.Premium features include a richly resonant all-mahogany body with the aforementioned AT-designed heart-shaped rosette, scalloped X bracing, C-shaped maple Stratocaster neck with a 20-fret rosewood fingerboard, body and neck binding, rosewood bridge with synthetic bone compensated saddle, chrome hardware and gloss neck and body finish. This exclusive model comes equipped with an onboard piezo pickup and preamp.
