I have several LP-style guitars, but this one is the best feeling one with the best fit and finish. Absolutely beautiful! One bit of shipping damage- The top tuning keys were bent. The tuner button's color choice is a bit questionable as well- they look more "toxic waste" rather than "vintage" -colored

Although the guitar needed no modifications, I prefer the ability to be able to split coils on the pickups, (stock pickups are two conductor) so I put in a set of the well regarded Donlis alnico 2 PAFs and an Epiphone coil split wiring harness. I also added a cheap Fakenberg tremolo arm and a roller bridge, just to try it out. It's staying!
The fact that it came with a decent embroidered gig bag at this price is amazing. I believe it kept the shipping damage down to just a bent tuner instead of something much worse.

Attached photos show the guitar after the changes, along with my modded Cali Classic.

Great sound and solid value

A beautiful guitar at a great price. The gig bag is also the best in the business.

Great budget guitar. I am very happy with fit and finish of the entire guitar, body finish, neck and body bindings, fretboard and inlays all look fine. I am also impressed with the setup of the guitar and the playability as shipped, no issues with hardware or electronics.

Plays great right out of the box. I made some upgrades to the guitar, and turned it into a fantastic guitar that plays, looks and sounds great!

Beautiful guitar. Haven?t had time to play it. Too many guitars new from HB. And Bad Cat. Boroughs Acoustic guitars new. 8 plus 2 plus plus 2 plus 1 66DLX plus. Indio. Thanks

Great value. Plays very well and looks great.

I'm an experienced musician and technician and find this model to be very "needy". It requires a lot of tweaking and adjusting. I hope it finally settles in. It seems to have "good bones" but is not suitable for a beginner without someone experienced to adjust it on a frequent basis. Your bolt on neck models are great. Easy to adjust and requiring little maintenance. In my opinion the Asian replicas of higher end American guitars are a little above their ability

The neck on this guitar is a little too fat for me. I like necks that are a little thinner. The guitar though sounds great.

This is 3rd guitar in one month and Monoprice keeps surprising me in a good way. I have been shying away from copies and only after reading lots of good reviews about Indio brand took a chance with Cali DLX first, not because I wanted a Strat, but just was curious how it compares side by side with the real one. And I was not disappointed. I sold my ES-335 a few years ago so next I bought the Boardwalk semi hollow version and it was great too. This 66 DLX had some not so good reviews recently but mine came in perfect condition. It looks beautiful and played nicely out of the box w/o any settings, no buzzing or other issues. No one has dared so far to play it side by side with Gibson LP Standard on Youtube, may be I should give it a try because I really enjoy everything about this guitar. It is a buy.
