To commemorate the 45th anniversary of the release of genre - and generation-defining 1962 album Surfer's Choice by the "King of Surf Guitar" himself, Dick Dale, Fender is pleased to present the unique and most-hip Dick Dale Limited Edition Malibu CE.
Features modeled after DaleÆs own signature Malibu a include 3"-deep body, onboard preamp with built-in tuner and reverse headstock. Coolest of all, the guitar bears Surfer's Choice album artwork designed by Dale and photos of the man himself in action atop the stage and atop the waves. An instant classic - just like the album that inspired it.
