EDIT: I finished a modding project on this guitar, and I am over the moon. I replaced all of the electronics, the bridge/trem, string trees, and tuners. I also sanded down the edges of the neck, so the frets no longer stick out. Lastly, I did a custom paint job. So yeah, believe it or not, if feels like a whole new guitar...because it mostly is. BUT consider that body of the guitar and the neck are both fantastic. This is a great guitar for learning how to do all of those things that I mentioned above. The whole project only took about a week and for sub $300 (including paint and tools) I have a really awesome new axe. I bought this guitar as a project instead of a kit guitar. I expected so much worse than what I got. I can't really believe it. The good- The neck feels great. It has a satin finish, the wood itself is quite beautiful, and it actually plays very nicely. I am enjoying it more than my PRS neck, to be honest. It's also straight and the action was perfect straight out of the box. The paint job on this guitar is flawless. I am still going to do a custom paint job, because, well, I want to. But having a perfect surface to start is going to make my work easy. The body shape is nicely contoured. It feels like the cutouts for a player's leg, body, and picking motion are just right. The bad- The hardware stinks. The tuners are mediocre, the string trees are crummy, the bridge is thin, and all of the plastic parts feel cheap. Then again, they are cheap. This guitar is cheap. What do you expect? All of those parts are easy to swap out if you want. As it stands, I wouldn't use the whammy bar- the hardware is too sticky, so the strings go out of tune immediately. The guitar stays in tune well if you don't use the whammy bar. The neck- specifically, the fret metal sticks out of the sides of the neck. It's pretty harsh. However, for ~$5 you can buy a sanding block and soften those edges tremendously. That's what I am going to do later today. There are some great videos on how to do that. The surprising- these pickups + electronics don't sound too bad, actually. They don't sound *great*, but with a little amp EQ, I got some legit strat sounds both clean and dirty. A good amp obviously makes a ton of difference. I'll swap out the pickups, switch, and pots, but I don't feel like I need to. If you're a beginner or just want to mess around with single-coil sounds, this isn't too bad. I am truly impressed. If you can pick up this guitar for $100 or less, go for it. It's a steal. A little TLC and this thing is going to be a great sounding player. ... show more

    • Guitar itself was good. Buying experience had a small problem.
Color: Blue Style: Guitar
So the many reviews I've seen about the quality of this guitar were not wrong. For a sub $100 guitar I would have to say that you get the playability of a $200-$300 guitar. A lot of the hardware is cheap as to be expected but it doesn't affect the comfort and ease of playing when you consider other guitars in this price range. My only two gripes condition wise are that there is a high spot on a couple of the frets making the low E string buzz which a quick leveling of the frets will take care of. And the other issue was that the fret ends were a little sharp for my liking. Not to where it would scratch or cut your hand but enough to feel a bit like a speed bump on the neck of the guitar. You will feel them sliding up and down the neck. Aside from those minor flaws, this is easily the perfect choice for a beginner as you don't feel like you're fighting the guitar to play it like so many other entry level models. And in my case it makes a great base for modding and creating something a bit more unique. The one word of warning would be that if you select the blue burst finish as I did, they sent the regular blue color instead which Monoprice themselves sell for $30 cheaper than the burst finish. However, customer support was extremely accommodating in straightening out the issue. All in all if you're looking for a beginner model or just another to add to your collection for some other tonal options, you can't go wrong. ... show more

    • Great value. With a little effort, great sound.
Color: Blue Style: Guitar
I've been playing guitar a long time, and despite using mostly inexpensive instruments I do not like inexpensive sound. This Monoprice Indio Cali Classic guitar is well constructed but the cost is partly saved by lack of additional features (no separate overlaid fretboard here) and lack of setup. For starters, though, this guitar is playable right away - no fret buzz, straight neck, the pickups are ceramic but the sound surprisingly good. However, if you are willing to put in some effort to set up this guitar properly, or to pay a professional to do that, then you will be rewarded with a guitar whose sound well exceeds the investment. Here's what I did to set it up my guitar: 1) right away you will want to file down the edges of the frets to be flush with the edge of the neck because they protrude the side of the neck and make it hurt to play, 2) set the string saddle height so the strings match the radius of the neck (9.5"), 3) the tremolo (whammy) comes locked down but I loosened the springs and floated it with the two-pivot method (see FruduaTv instruction videos on Youtube) - works great now, 4) intonate it by checking the string harmonic at the 12th fret versus the 12th fret fretted note, adjusting the saddle forward or back, etc. For the intonation I had to set some of the saddles all the way back. Problems with the intonation were two things, where the bridge probably could have been mounted slightly further back, and the string slots at the nut were cut flat (and also where they seemed to be binding the strings a bit, affecting tuning) and not angled. I angled the nut slots and this improved the intonation right away, especially for the low E string. Now, between the saddle and nut adjustment I've got the guitar well intonated where I can play octaves across the whole fretboard in tune. Lastly, 5) I replaced the stock metal string trees with Tusq string trees to improve tuning stability especially when using the tremolo. In summary, when I first got the guitar it was in a raw state that needed setting up: the sound was good but the fret edges hurt, the trem was locked down too tightly to use, the intonation was not set, and the tuning was not stable ("pinging" sounds from the strings when tuning or using the trem. Now, with the above changes I'm super happy with this great looking, feeling, and sounding guitar. Amazing value for the money. Especially recommended if you are willing to put in the effort to fix it up, and hey, you might learn something by setting it up yourself (unless you pay a shop to do it for you, and if so, good on you as well). ... show more
