Monoprice 6-String Solid-Body Electric Guitar, Teal

The Indio Cali Classic HSS Electric Guitar, built on the foundation of the original Cali Classic, has proved itself to be a stage-ready performer at a price that is borderline ridiculous. In true California fashion, the Monoprice team has added some extra muscle to the series, with a hot-rodded humbucking pickup in the bridge position for that essential rock 'n' roll punch.

Often, when cranking your amp to 11 with the single-coil pickups typically found on this style of guitar, the sound can get a bit noisy. This is true of the Cali Classic models, as well as big-brand-name guitars costing thousands of dollars. After all, single-coil pickups can deliver very desirable vintage tones. However, the humbucking pickups featured in the Indio Cali Classic HSS Electric Guitar have a reverse-polarity dual-coil design, which naturally removes those unwanted noises and allows thick and robust overtones to truly ring out.

The dual-coil humbucking pickup delivers a very dynamic and fat sound, while reducing or "bucking" unwanted noise and hum. This "Big Fat Beefy Tone" makes the Indio Cali Classic Guitars perfect for beginners or for players that need a reliable practice or backup axe. They feature easy-to-play, "fast" satin necks and quiet, full-sounding pickups.

But don't let the affordability and beginner-friendly features fool you – this guitar is gig-ready right out of the box. And if you're the type of player who's into customizing their instrument, it's super easy to upgrade the electronics or other hardware to make this Indio guitar your own. It's a great way to experiment with tone and aftermarket parts, without the risk of damaging or destroying your primary instrument.

In summary, the Monoprice Indio California Classic Electric Guitar has been transformed into the Indio Cali Classic HSS Electric Guitar, with a hot-rodded humbucking pickup in the bridge position. This addition of "extra muscle" has resulted in a stage-ready performer that can deliver the essential rock 'n' roll punch, while also reducing unwanted noise and allowing thick, robust overtones to shine through. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned player, the Indio Cali Classic HSS Electric Guitar offers a versatile and customizable platform to explore your musical creativity.
