I needed a Tele for recording. I didn't want to sink a bunch of money into one, so I just picked this one up on Amazon after reading reviews all over the Internet about how good it was. I wasn't disappointed, but it took me a few weeks to learn the guitar's idiosyncrasies. First, take screwdrivers, wrenches, and whatever else you need. Remove the factory strings and go all around the bridge and body, tightening up the screws from the factory. Flip it over and do the neck and tuner screws as well. Second, setup. You can run 10's on this guitar, and get the intonation set properly, but it's not going to have that Tele twang. If you try to run 9's, you won't be able to pull the saddles back far enough on the low E and A to get a correct intonation setting. Cutting or removing the saddle springs helps, but on the low E I just removed it altogether. Still no joy. My solution was to run "light top, regular bottom" string sets, like the D'Addario EXL125's. Top E is a .09, bottom E is a .46. You still get the twang, but on the bottom, the larger diameter slows the string vibration down enough that pulling the saddles all the way back isn't necessary. I found the twang to be more pronounced when top-loading the strings (through the back of the bridge) rather than through the body. Another is getting it to stay in tune. If you're having this issue, it is an easy fix. Get some Vaseline and lube every string contact point. Start with the undersides of the string trees on the headstock, then the nut, then the string saddles, then re-tighten your strings and retune. Stretch the strings if necessary (and it probably will be). Grab and tug upward on each one firmly, but not so hard that you break them. Keep doing this until the tone doesn't change when you to it, then tune normally. A more permanent fix would be to get a set of nut files and change the dimensions of the area where the string goes through the nut. But, that's definitely a job for a luthier, because if you change the nut dimension too much, you can seriously mess up the guitar's playability. The Vaseline trick isn't permanent, but it's cheap, impossible to mess up, and it works. That's it. If you have problems setting the intonation or keeping it in tune, those two procedures should help. Once you get it sorted, it sounds great. The pickups aren't super hot, but boy do they have a great sound. Roll back the tone while using the bridge pickup, and you've got something special. As far as fit and finish go, the Classic is a great looking guitar. I got the Sunburst and it really scratched an itch I've had for a long time about getting a sunburst Telecaster. The wood does have some tiny, almost unnoticeable knots in it, but they're off center, almost within the black part of the sunburst, so not super visible. Neck is wide and flat. After I got used to playing it, it was difficult to go back to my home-built Stratocaster, because the neck is much narrower. It also has pretty big frets, which makes it easier to play. it also makes chords go out of tune if you push too hard. This guitar likes a light touch. All in all, I've enjoyed this guitar and I've already recorded some with it and it sounds great. I'm in the process of building a Tele right now, so I'll probably keep the Indio until at lest then and continue to use it for practice and recording. Update, 11/5/22 - Nearly three years on, now, and the Indio is still one of my favorites. The finish has held up incredibly well for a cheap guitar. It still looks like new, even though I've not babied it. I bought at custom maple Tele neck for it and pulled the fantastic rosewood original for another project. The new neck fit perfectly, and makes a classic looking guitar. I upgraded the original saddles, which were conventional saddles, to brass roller saddles that further enhanced the tone. Eventually, I'll drop a set of Wilkinsons in it, as the factory pickups are not as hot as some of my other guitars. Don't notice it much when recording, but Wilkinsons would really improve the tone...every set I've ever gotten has been fantastic. If you're wanting to get into Teles but don't have a ton to spend, if you want a nice project guitar, or want to buy something interesting for a beginner, you really can't go wrong with one of these.

I build guitars mostly for fun and friends, I bought this guitar just to see what kind of workmanship and what quality control was put into its building from the factory. I was pleased to find that this guitar was well made and finished. The pick up are very good, neck is surprising well made, tuners are okay but would change them out later, saddles are pot metal cast but okay, nut is okay but it to should be change later, fret ends were a little sprouted on the ends but they to can be filed, bridge it a top lode only but if you know what your doing you can drill to make a string though body. All in all better stater guitar than most around $100 and the best it it can be up-graded with new electronics and pick up's anytime down the road, good for mods. I would even go as far and say they are a hair bit better than the Squire starter guitars.

Product arrived on time, packaging was beat to hell, guitar somehow survived, probably a testament to the gig bag. No sharp fret ends! Tuners are not good, we’ll see if they hold tune, but I will replace them anyway. The nut looks well cut but is set way too high, I’ll file the string grooves down to make it more playable. Action was too high, I lowered the bridge saddles but the nut will have still to be filed. The intonation was really close! The pickups sound good and the pots are smooth and have good taper. The fretboard needs serious oiling. Overall, it’s better than I expected. Well worth the money!

I purchased this item recently as I was looking for a "cheap" guitar to mod up with nicer parts to learn more about guitars and customize a guitar for myself. I tried to find as many reviews as possible for this item before purchase and they all seemed pretty favorable so I rolled the dice and went for it. I have to say that the item is shockingly good for the price and it's a great starter guitar/modding platform but it will need some work. I have read that the consistency from item to item suffers on lower end stuff so your mileage may vary. My guitar came with good action height (not too low not to high, great sustain), didn't have any dead notes on the neck, fret ends were sticking out and I definitely needed to sand the edges down (which I would've done anyway since I liked a rolled neck) but without this your hands will get cut up quite a bit (no blood but visible markings). Intonation was pretty good, just the low E and A strings needed some help. Nut height was good, neck was straight, bridge height was good. I have listed some pro's and con's below to help y'all make a decision...All in all though, I am not upset with this purchase and it's a great guitar that doesn't really need any mods once the fretboard has been sanded down. Pro's • Amazing value for the dollar, sounds great with the included "cheap pickups"...yes they're ceramic and are "warmer/muddier" than alnico but I prefer a thicker warmer sound. • Not too heavy or light, it's got a good weight to it. • Initial setup was pretty good, didn't need to do much to it to get started playing. • Includes a case, it's not the greatest but it's definitely usable and a nice add on. • Love the modern 6 individual saddles, much preferred over the 3 saddle system • Overal fit and finish was nice, there were two cellophane covers on the pickguard so make sure you peel both off. • The burst finish looks great for the amount paid. • The strap buttons are of nice quality. Cons • There are a few minor blemishes in the wood under the finish that are just visual issues (very tiny dark spots like a birthmark) • The parts on the guitar aren't a 1:1 switch out for genuine Telecaster parts, the bridge is a modern tele bridge which is larger than most replacements out there, the pick guard has different hole dimensions as well so you'll need to drill new holes and some edges if you want to change out the guard, haven't tried anything with the control plate yet but I'm expecting the same with the routing and possibly even the plate. • The tuners are not very good, they work and a beginner can get some use out of them but I highly suggest these get upgraded right away as some are loose and some are tight when winding strings and while it holds tune ok...a $35 purchase of locking tuners will do WONDERS. • The specs on this page mention a 9.5" radius...this can't be further than the truth, my guitar is definitely in the 12-14" range...very flat fingerboard. I don't mind it but would've preferred 9.5" personally. • The Indio logo on my guitar is the older more slender version which makes me believe this is older stock • The headstock shape is...an acquired taste and I'll be reshaping mine as I'm not a fan of the hook at the end • The ferrules fell out the back when I was changing the strings and had to be reglued back in. • The input jack loves to hang on to your cable plug when you want to unplug, you have to give it a real big tug to get it out.
