does "solid ash" mean that this body is one single piece of wood?

BEST ANSWER: Mine is a two piece body, but the joint is very subtle. In this case “solid ash” means that it isn’t made of laminate/plywood. For context, Leo Fender used one, two, or three piece ash or alder bodies, and plenty of reputable builders even use 4 piece bodies with veneer tops and backs. With solid colors it is even less obvious, and some people believe that glued joints are stronger than single piece bodies. So long as it is resonant and stable, the number of pieces isn’t a huge concern—especially if the builder book-matches well (as is the case with most of these Indios).

No. In the one I have, it is 3 pieces of solid ash glued together to form the body (looks great imho). The body is not chambered. It does not have any cap. For example, a Les Paul can have 2 or 3 pieces of mahogany glued to make the body, then have a maple cap on top. It may or may not be chambered , depending on the model.

Yes, the body on our Indio is fabricated from a single piece of ash. As you are probably aware some guitar manufacturers glue together several pieces of wood to form a laminate which then becomes the guitar body. However, Indio takes the extra step and fabricates the body from a single piece of ash. Hope this helps..

No, it means it's not a hollow body. I ordered one that had a defect and had to exchange it. It was actually a two piece body. The replacement was one piece. So it can be a one piece, but that's not guaranteed.

No it can be multiple peices glued together and be solid. The areas for the pickups are then routed out for them to be installed.
I can say it is a very well made guitar and plays well.

It is not a single piece of ash. It is a 3 piece, but the pieces are well matched.

No. It means the entire body is ash and it is solid, not chambered.

No - the body could be two or even three different pieces of wood.

Yes. It’s nearly identical to a strat. It is a solid block of wood that is shaped. Has a great feel. Solid, but comfortable up against the body when you're playing.

Yes it's a full bodied strat. Nice grain and weighted too. I didn't want the poplar stuff that's out there. It costs more but I feel it's worth it.

Ive not measured , but if not identical it is very similar ; It feels the same as my genuine Fender Strat , except MUCH heavier .

Great guitar and well set up. Plays really well.only complaint is the tremolo could have been set up better ,it was decked to the body and would not budge ,but after some utube videos I learned how to adjust it. It?s well worth the money and I love it!

My new favorite Axe
This is without a doubt one of the best budget guitars made. They set this up nearly perfect from the factory. I barely had to make any adjustments when I took it out of the box. Great resonance from the ash body, bridge and pickups are very good. Satin maple has excellent feel. I sold my PRS SE shortly after receiving this guitar.

It's another great guitar from Indio by Monoprice---No damage in shipment or blemishes from factory and after the setup it's got great playability and that vintage 1950's Fender Daphne blue with maple fretboard and triple ply pickguard look---I'm glad I got it !

Blue Cali Classic DLX Plus S-style issues
The guitar looks great and the Wilkinson pickups sound fine. In my case, the Wilkinson Tremolo bridge seemed to be okay, but the mechanism for attaching the tremolo arm would not secure the arm tightly. After removing the entire bridge and tightening the 'hidden' setscrew, I was still unable to insert the arm in a way that felt solid. Additionally, the control knobs are set too high (about 1/8") due to the excessive shaft length of the control pots. This further interfered with tremolo operation. The basic guitar is nicely built, but I'm returning due to the tremolo issue, as the Wilkinson tremolo bridge is part of the reason I chose the Cali Classic DLX Plus to begin with.
