Cool little guitar. I'll probably give it to a grandkid. It is very MINI a bit too mini for a guy my size. Sounds great with the stock pickups. Still all in all a good solid little guitar.

I have more than 10 mini guitars and the Indio is my favorite. It combines more features than any of the others I have and the finished are great. The maple neck pairs with both a single coil and humbucker pickups, and a tremolo feature. Comes with an adorable small gig bag too. Wish I had bought two of them before they went out of stock.

Four stars takes into account both the quality and the price. Generally, I'm very pleased....well worth the modest price. It does need some work: the fret ends are a little rough and the intonation needs tweaking. I down tune some strings so will be putting heavier strings (11-54) on it. This is my second Monoprice electric. Thank you.

Great ? Bang for the Buck?. Nice playing and looking guitar suitable for students and teachers alike.

It took me a little while to warm up to this guitar. It just didn't grab me, and I had issues getting it to stay in tune. After a string change and further playing with the intonation it's much better, and I'm starting to love playing it. I like short scale length guitars mostly for the easy bending/vibrato, and this one's no exception. I prefer single coils, but the bridge pickup on this sounds acceptably twangy. Shortly after I bought this I was given another mini-Strat, the only one I've seen that has all the details of a normal sized one - SSS, tremolo, all three knobs - and I really like that one too but this one sounds a little different and plays maybe a little better (better tuners mostly). I was thinking of returning it, but I like it enough to keep.

I recently picked up this instrument to serve as my ?travel guitar? as I frequently play on the streets of LA (as part of a music ministry) and feel safer keeping my PRS at home. The Mini Cali does take some getting used to given the shorter scale length, but adjusting to this took me only a few minutes. Tone is also fairly nice for the price and is most definitely superior to similar priced models from Glarry. The same is true of the frets. Fortunately, my copy had relatively well manicured fret ends, though I have heard from others that the edges may be sharp and require filing on some. For $99, I personally feel that it is a decent quality instrument once you have performed a setup.

Nice looking guitar.
Needs work to repair sharp frets and buzzing.
If you are handy and can do the repairs yourself it is a good starter for the beginner.

got mine the other day and im really impressed with it!
i did a few tweaks on the saddles/trussrod and plays nice!
also smoothed out the fret edges as well...
heres the sweet part...i swapped out the pups and coilsplit the humbucker and added a mini switch...
this thing now has 7 tones on it! all tones in phase i believe...
great guitar!

Purchased this for my seven year old son after he showed interest in grandpa's Testadura Archtop. Figured it might need a little tune up, setup, and string change so I brought it up to his shop. Grandpa was really impressed by how good it was out of the box so he hooked it in to his amp and started jamming on it. He liked it so much he decided he wanted one too as it was just the right size to throw in a suit case and take where ever.

Nice little guitar! Plays and sounds great! Good quality in all respects.
