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

Indio by Monoprice Cali DLX Plus Solid Ash Electric Guitar with Gig Bag
Indio By Monoprice, 6-String Cali DLX Plus Solid Ash Electric Guitar - Right Handed, With Gig Bag, Maple Fretboard, Light Blue
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.

You should be able to replace the tuners. No problem with that. I bought the 99 tele, and assuming the size is the same, these are 10mm size holes. Also, regarding Fender tuners, depending on the model, they have 2 little anchors, so you would have to drill those 2 little holes (per tuning machine), to be able to make them fit.

The fretboard radius says 400mm. That equals 15.7in fretboard radius. Is that right?
Adam D

BEST ANSWER: Yes It is a very flat fretboard compared to a Vintage 7.5 50's Tele. Modern Tele is 9.5 and Gibson is 12 degree. Slightly flatter than a Gibson neck. Great for chords and bar chords. Vintage feel to the frets.

Monoprice, you need to sort out your descriptions and photos.
The guitar is fine for the price, a little rough around the edges, nothing a little TLC can't fix. It sounds and plays ok. Perhaps a bit above average for any mass produced ship-in-a-box guitar.
The natural finish was shown to have a string-thru body, but I received a top-loader with brass saddles. Not exactly complaining, but it's not what I was expecting. The flat part under the neck where it meets the body is pretty rough.
Overall it's a win if you can get it for +/- $100.

Very nice guitar - great value!
So this was gifted to one of my best friends ever, and he knows guitars. He acknowledges that it's a heavy guitar, but said the finish and setup are first rate, intonation accurate and really thinks the Wilkinson pickup has that Tele tone. He's really happy with it and plays it every day. He hasn't had to make any adjustments to it at all. I have to say it's a great looker and plays well. And a nicely padded gig bag to boot. If you're on the fence about buying this - just get it...you won't be sorry.

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

Under 200$
Less than 2oo$ delivered and a great entry into tele world. It's like getting a kit put together so you see and feel what it's like first. Now it's a evolving project,fun stuff. The ash body is heavy,ok for casual wouldn't want to stand for 4 sets. Neck needed fret work.

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.
