I believe the Korean-made 2006/2007 model Malibu SCE went for around $500, as compared to the Malibu S for $400. There is no 2008 Malibu S but this year's Malibu SCE has a laminated back and is made in China. It goes for like $379 or so.
The Malibu S in the local dealer was really a quite decent guitar, I especially liked the fingerboard radius (probably 12" or so) and the vintage slotted tuners, both of which were very familiar from playing a 60's style Strat. Most of the other small guitars have flat fingerboards and modern style tuners. The body is smaller than what I think of as 000 size, kind of odd with a body between 00 and 000 but still a 25-1/2" scale and 1-5/8" nut. I liked it though and would certainly rather have it than some thing like the little Chinese Epiphone 00-size.
