Malibu Player Midnight Satin : Fantastic grab and go

5 years ago

I always wanted a small grab and go guitar and I think I found the most bang for the money one.

In the beginning the sound was weak and almost apologetic but as the wood is getting older the guitar really starts to shine with a fuller, less metallic sound.

The pickup is good enough and with a little post processing it can be used for recording.

The neck profile is on the thin side, very confortable for me.

The guitar needed some TLC when I got it (mostly addressing the frets which were horrible out of the factory - I had to rectify them in order to be able to do a simple bend...) but overall the build quality is OK and at the price/quality is fantastic.

Pros: Excellent sound for a small guitar, unbeatable bung for your buck, portability.

Cons: Not really, considering the price.
