Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Natural Malibu Special pairs a small Malibu body and 24.1-inch scale with solid mahogany across the top, back, sides, and neck. Its slim-taper C neck, Pau Ferro fingerboard, and 20-fret layout shape the playing setup. Plug into an amplifier through the Fishman Flex Body NT preamp, which is voiced for the Malibu body shape. Quartersawn scalloped X bracing, a bone nut and saddle, and a supplied gig bag round out the instrument.

Who this is for
