Alkaline Trio create their own guitar


American company producing guitars - Fender, and Alkaline Trio joined forces and ideas to create new acoustic guitar designed for Alkaline Trio. Instrument is named Fender Alkaline Trio Mailbu. It has folk mahogany body, maple neck and fingerboard made of palisander.

Fender describes the guitar as following:

"Chicago punks Alkaline Trio jumped in on the design of what must be one of Fender’s most distinctive acoustic guitars ever, the Alkaline Trio Malibu. The instrument takes the classic ’60s-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."

Twenty-fret guitar is according to Fender great acoustic guitar for all fans of Fender, old-school guitars and for everybody who likes a little different looking instrument.
