Features

  • Easy to Play: Indio Classic guitars are perfect for beginners or for players that need a practice or back-up axe. They feature easy-to-play, "fast" satin necks and quiet, full sounding pick-ups.
  • Industry Standard Features: Indio Classic guitars boast industry standard features and sizes, just like the big name guitar companies, but at a fraction of the price. The Cali Classic features 22 frets, a 25.5" scale, and a 9.5" radius.
  • Make it Your Own: Change the pick-ups or change the pots to make this Indio guitar your own. The large open cavity allows for complete customization. It is a great way to experiment with tone and aftermarket hardware, without destroying your primary piece.
  • Monoprice not only stands behind every product we sell with a 1 year replacement warranty, we offer a 30-day money back guarantee as well! If the product you purchase does not satisfy your needs, send it back for a full refund.

    • Awesome Guitar For The Price!
Color: Black Style: Guitar
Wow! A basswood body, and a straight maple neck with well-finished frets, that sounds good out of the box....and a NICE gig bag, with some padding. The finish is even nice! Very impressive. While mine came nicely set-up out of the box (action just right; intonation is good, etc.) I did see another one which would have required a proper set-up- so it might be the luck of the draw as far as that goes- but even assuming you need to do a set-up; hey, you have to usually do that with the big name brand ones too- so it wouldn't deter me in the least- but yours may well arrive not needing to be set-up, and so mich the better! As for the hardware and electricals: Well, naturally, the pots and pick-ups are the cheapest....but it still sounds quite good- and the single-coil pick-ups don't seem to be any worse than what you would get with a lower-end name brand guitar for nearly double the price. Likewise, the bridge is really cheap, as one would expect at this price point- as are the tuners- but it all works just fine- and the beauty is, you can easily upgrade anything you want to with standard or aftermarket Strat parts- used or new- but I'm perfectly fine with this guitar just the way it is. As far as cheap guitars go, from what I've seen, this is the best one out there- very comparable to a Squire Standard Strat- but for less than half the price- and in prettier colors! The price of these does tend to fluctuate. For 99 clams, it's an AWESOME deal. Wouldn't hesitate to pay 139 either. I've seen 'em for 159 and higher too. For that, I might just consider kicking in a little more and buying the Squire Standard Strat- because it has a better bridge/block and tuners- so value wise, it would really be about the same as if you upgraded the Monoprice. But rest assured, you will NOT be disappointed with this guitar! Sounds good and plays well- it's not some junky toy, that you might expect for the price. Looks nice too, in-person. ... show more

    • Damn Good Guitar For 100 Bucks! But don't expect the world at this price point
Color: Black Style: Guitar
This is my first electric guitar and I'm really pleased with it, I have been playing bass guitar for 2 years now (I am currently using Schectar Bad Omen), and I am on my 1st month of music theory studies. I thought I would get an electric guitar to doodle with in my free time, but this guitar is surprisingly great for the price. However, for the low price you can tell in the feeling, and when I'm recording in my focusrite 2i2 on amplitube 5, I get this horrendous buzzing sound when the volume and treble knobs are above 6, and the slightest movement causes quite a bit of feedback when plugged into an amp while standing, but this could be just my guitar. It is also very light weight, and the neck don't feel the best, but it is totally do-able. For 100 bucks this is a damn good guitar, it sounds better then some 150-200 dollar guitars, and sounds pretty good when plugged in for the most part, but like I said for recording it leaves a little to be desired, but I'd imagine no one is doing that with this guitar, I was just experimenting. If you want to dip your toes into guitar, or on the fence, or just want a cheap guitar etc. BUY THIS GUITAR! It's a good deal, but like said don't expect the world. Rock on guys 🤘🎸 ... show more

    • Monoprice Cali Classic--price was right
Color: Black Style: Guitar
Compared to my other 2 Indios, this one was a disappointment. I got this to be a mod platform and the price was too good to pass up even if I wasn't going to modify it. The tuners are absolute junk on this one and the trem arm has a white tip. (body, knobs pickups, and pickguard are black). The frets are actually pretty good and no flaws in the construction or paint. Action is a bit high, and intonation was OK. Wouldn't need a lot of adjustment. The dime-sized pots aren't terrible but not good and the ceramic pickups are a bit weak. As I'm modding this body, I didn't bother with any adjustment, but for the price, this is not a bad deal IMO. The body is routed for HSH and the routing is clean and crisp. ... show more

    • Amazing for the price
Color: Black Style: Guitar
As title says, amazing for the price. For $100 the product is incredible. 5 star is purely based on the price per performance. This guitar is comparable to a $200 guitar EASY. The only thing I'd change are the strings as they dont feel great but other than that, cant complain. The pickups sound great, neck and fret-board are surprisingly nice. The construction overall seems very good. The fret wire seems a bit cheap but what can you expect for $100. The gig bag is actually really nice too, better than most "free" bags in the $200 price range. Purchased this as a backup/practice guitar mostly stored/used in the garage for practice (no thermostat so constant temperature fluctuations possible). Expensive guitars stay inside the house away from extreme temperature changes. Would purchase again at $100. Even at $150 this guitar is worth it unless spending the extra $50 is possible to get something a little better. ... show more

    • Amazing guitars for the money!
Color: Black Style: Guitar
I realize these guitars are not Gibsons or Fenders, but I have to say that they really are fine instruments nevertheless. I have purchase 3 of them now-a Indio 66, a California Classic, and a Telecaster Classic, and each one has had a flawless finish, great setup, and great tone and playability! I am very impressed with this company. I have been playing guitar for over 50 year and own a Gibson SG too, so I know quality and understand the mechanics of a fine instrument. ... show more

    • One of the best deals on a guitar that you'll ever find
Color: Black Style: Guitar
Awesome guitar for the price. No defects or shipping damage (your mileage may vary... the box arrived utterly mutilated for me, thankfully the guitar was fine), holds tuning, low fret action, and looks/sounds good. Even the gig bag is decent. If you're on the fence, go for it.

    • The intonation was so bad that I almost returned it.
Color: Black Style: Guitar
I had to shorten the springs in two of the string length set screws to intonate it properly. Now it plays sweetly.
