i have 2 of these a natrual and a blond. everything was perfect except the electrical cavities are not insulated well. when I"m playing and my fingers touch the pick guard, I get static noise thru my amp on both of these guitars. I have 10+ guitars and these are the only 2 that make static noise thru my amp I will have to sell or get them insulated better.
Nice piece, Flawed handling

It's a really nice guitar. Has very well finished neck and frets. Fret ends were smooth as a baby's bottom. I am well satisfied with the Wilkinson parts and it was playable as set up from MP. I'm disappointed with the condition in which it arrived, ( see attached photos) but it didn't seem worth the trouble of sending it back.
Zowie, I'm so happy!

Very impressed with my purchase. Right out of the box, it was ready to play. A minor intonation adjustment and I was ready to plug in! Also, for those that like pretty things, the finish is flawless and all of the shiny parts sparkle! Oh baby.... Like it so much I just purchased a matching Strat.
Very nice for the price!

The guitar and gig bag are nice. It's not a $1,000 guitar, but for under $200's, this is a very nice E. Guitar for any beginner or intermediate player that wants a different look and sound. It is a heavy guitar because of the Swamp Ash but the finish is beautiful and it is very playable without any modifications.
Beautiful Guitar With Issues

As I write this, I'm waiting for shipping instructions and a shipping label for a second replacement for this guitar. The first guitar I received had jammed saddles that could not be adjusted for intonation. I received a shipping label with instructions within 2 days of my request for a replacement. I appreciated the prompt response. I received the replacement within about 2 weeks. The replacement guitar had a hairline crack in the fretboard, and a loud hum which stops if I hold the bridge, which appears to be a grounding issue. I requested a second replacement, and am now waiting for a return shipping label. The response time for the second replacement has been slow.

Wow, a great guitar at a great price. Heavier than I expected. Need to be setup. Had a lot of fret buzz.

Same issues others have stated. The guitar sent was not string through. Whoever their "master luthier" is that sets these up needs to find a new job. The bridge saddles were set up completely wrong and intonation was horrible. They also filed the nut down too low. The 13th fret needed filed down as it was sitting higher than the rest.
Great Telecaster in Cherry Burst

This is a great guitar. FedEx did a ding job on it, but otherwise it is amazing. Great tone and feel. Action was a touch high, but truss rod adjustment took care of that. The feel and look is solid. Ash is heavy, so no surprise there. But still a great tone through my Fender Mustang LT25 practice amp. Would definitely buy again... just wish they had a UPS option rather than FedEx. (FedEx in my area is notorious for damaging packages.). I plan to keep it, ding and all, as it is nothing more than I probably would have done in my own small studio area.
Solid Value

Pros: Beautiful Ash body with a nicer sunburst than I expected. Setup was decent out of box, needed Truss rod adjustment No sharp frets Decent pickups Satin finish neck Ships with good strings Cons: Website depicts a string through body, this guitar did not have a string through body. Very heavy. Sound nice, plays nice, doesn't cost much at all. Enjoying my new T-Style guitar from Monoprice

The Cherry Burst was shown as a string thru with steel saddles but came as a top loader with brass saddles. IT was also shown to have a tint on the neck and headstock but had none. Otherwise, was OK but very heavy.
Simply amazed

Well, this is not the first Monoprice Indio guitar I have bought. I am still quite amazed at how good they are. I received mine this morning and I did not have to do one single thing to it. Normally I do a full set up on them, but in this case it came perfectly intonated and playable right out of the bag/box. The action was just between medium and medium-low, so if anything I may drop it just a touch, but it is entirely playable as it is and the Wilkinson pickups sound great. Even the tuners (usually a bit rough) were really good as-is. I continue to recommend these guitars to my friends and family. I have no issues whatsoever with these guitars.
Great value on nice guitar

I ordered this guitar because of the low price and positive reviews. Received the guitar fairly quickly. Pros: Well made with beautiful finishes Nice upgraded hardware Well setup on arrival Fun to play Sounds as a telecaster should Cons: Guitar pictured online was string through body, but guitar I received is not string though. I contacted Monoprice, and they apologized and offered full refund. Customer service experience was excellent. I enjoyed playing the guitar, so I declined the refund and kept it. I would recommend this guitar to anyone looking for a nice playing guitar at a crazy low price.
Great guitar at an affordable price.

I have just started playing guitar again after 50 years in order to be able to play together with my grandson. This guitar is really nice for the price. Everything about it is great. No problem fret ends or any ather issues you'd expect from a guitar at this price. My first one came thru with a defective switch. Monoprice customer service was awesome. They emailed me an RMA to return it and sent me a replacement very quickly. I love their products and customer service.
Worth every penny and then some.

Great guitar. Better than an Affinity. The tuners are the "worst" point, not great for a guitar of this level. Otherwise, faaaantaatic. Check out the FB page for Indio by Monoprice guitars!
A wonderful platform, I prefer to mod!

It is definitely a solidly built guitar and built well, to a degree much higher than its price. I took a star off the rating due to the pickups. I also own the Cali DLX and it?s pickups sound much smoother and nicer, more unique, than the Tele pickups of the same model. The tone left me a little uninspired. I also would upgrade some of the hardware - like brass bridge saddles, better tuners. The two-piece ash body is beautiful and the finish is lovely. Like all Indio guitars, the biggest kudos go to the satin finish neck?and in the case of Cherry Burst, it has an aged finish to the neck as well. I recommend this guitar for its price?and consider upgrading the hardware and electronics for a spectacular guitar that would rival the name brands for a fraction of the cost.
Fantastic Telecaster copy

I don't see how can you go better than this for around $200 if you want genuine Tele sounds. Good fretwork and once you set it up correctly it has incredible action and playability. Indio keeps improving year after year!
Well worth the money, sounds like a million bucks!

The good: wonderful sound, at least as good as my MIM Fender Tele. Beautifully finished neck, smooth fret ends. Great pickups. Sounds better than the Retro Classic a friend talked me out of. Setup near perfect, but I'm going to try to get it lower. The not so good.: Heavy, heavy, as others have noted. And the neck is quite a bit chunkier than my Fender Tele. Bottom line: Despite the weight, a good deal on a quality guitar that I recommend to you.
A lot of guitar for the $

Great well-built guitar like any guitar it will require a set up to get it to your preferences mine required Slight truss rod adjustment, fret polishing and tapping down a couple of frets On par with other reviews she is heavy 11+ pounds I like the sound of the pick ups they have the classic tele twang The fit and finish are PERFECT mine looks, sounds and plays GREAT !!!
Very good guitar for the money.

With the exception of a ding in the wood on the back, this guitar is flawless. And it played well straight out of the box. Love the woodgrain and the pups sound good.
