Arrived in good time and well packaged .... no crushing. Was a little disappointed in the colour......shine not as bright as advertised, gave it a dull lustre. The volume knob was tilted to one side and not flush to the body .....the pot tip was a little too high. Also the knobs are amber in colour and the numbers are difficult to see, really annoying, will be replaced. There were no scratches or chips on the body nor on the components. The neck looked in good shape, just have to sand the fret edges as they are a little rough. The chrome finish on humbuckers and bridge is very nice, the bridge is of very good quality. The guitar felt good but have not done a setup yet, have to replace the strings first. Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase, a good deal for $199 .... a very nice looking guitar. I would recommend it.

Right out of the box, the action/playability was as nice as any guitar I've ever played (about 50 guitars).
A "skilled" luthier obviously spent quality some time with this instrument. I mean, this thing plays like butter. The 3 pickup positions offer nice, noiseless contrast.
Monoprice has a great idea, they buy large lots of Asian guitars, assembled well from solid materials, then they tweak/set them up in California, and, after passing QC and being adjusted, they sell them to us. The Asian guitars we get from other retailers are similar, but are not adjusted and set up. HUGE difference!!!
Also, the headstock on this differs in a good way from the other L.P. clones. Pulling the strings in a straighter direction through the nut, to the tuners, keeps the guitar in tune better.
Very nice instrument, designed well, built well, adjusted nicely for easy playing... "perhaps" I recommend it. ;-)

This guitar is OUTSTANDING! It was being even my, expectations. No flaws whatsoever. Feels good. Not too heavy and the best part....it sounds GREAT!

I love this guitar. a great playable guitar with a well set up action.

I really like this guitar. I checked it closely when I got it and was surprised at the quality. There are a few minor blemishes around the outside edge in the finish, but they are minor. I pulled the back covers and checked the electronics, about a t-spoon full of sawdust fell out, but these are full size pots. The fit of the covers on the back is reasonable. After doing the check out I plugged into a Peavey amp and checked the knobs and switch. The volume pots cut out between 2 and 2.5, but seem smooth above that, this is also a minor problem. The 3 way switch worked fine. The tone pots seemed to work well enough. Obviously, these are not the highest quality pickups but they sound surprisingly good. The finish on the top is beautiful. I am not overly fond of the headstock, I would like to see a more traditional L.P. look, but that's just my personal view. If you are a beginner or someone who likes to goof around with a guitar once in a while and don't want to spend a lot of money this is a great choice. The quality to price ratio on this guitar is very good. I dropped one star over the volume pots, and the tuning keys could be a little better. Overall I still think this is a great value.

This guitar is really nice. The finish is great, the action is low and it sounds great. I am very happy with my purchase

Well i have to start off with saying how impressed i am with the fret work on this guitar, there are absolutely no sharp edges anywhere to be found.
The sparkle gold tone finish is flawless not a blemish to be found and the binding is just as good
The pickup seletcor feels robust and it is holding tune well,these are initial but scrutinized observations. As a consumer i think it sort of It comes down to the luck of the draw but i will say anything i have ever ordered from monoprice was exactly the way that they said it would be. I am pretty sure when this guitar was released it was 299.99 then it went down to 249.00. I was waiting to see if it ever went on sale then for a few days it was 199.00 with free shipping. The guitar is awesume cant really see how you could get anything better for the the price point .

It was just what I was looking for. It's a beautiful Gold Top. Great sounds. You can play the Blues, Country, and ROCK.
I'm very happy with my purchase. This is my second guitar from Monoprice Indigo and I'll probably purchase another.
Highly recommend.

This was a great buy I wish I had not waited so long to buy this I have many guitars and this one is just awesome great quality and just straight up worth every penny I want another one asap there very nice guitars and I will tell everyone I know to buy this it was fast shipping and was delivered to my door thanks monoprice you got my 5 star rating on service price and quality and shipping will buy again and again from you very pleased

I really liked the Indio 66 DLX that I already owned, so I decided to get the DLX Plus Goldtop version. Good decision! It’s a great guitar at a great price. I agree with the first reviewer that the finish is fantastic. The setup is perfect for me, the neck is straight, fret edges are smooth and it stays in tune as expected.

Upgrades compared to the DLX that I like are: 1) Mahogany body giving it a weight of 8.0 lbs compared to regular DLX at 7.3 lbs. This may be mostly what gives it the improved sustain and warmer tone (although I still like the regular DLX sound). It has the best sustain of my five beginner to intermediate level guitars...just. 2) 500K alpha pots. 3) slight neck and body adjustment give a little more clearance for reaching the 22nd fret. 4) 2.6mm frets v 2.3, but I can’t really see the difference TBH. 5) Bone nut. Meh. 6) Rosewood fretboard.

It comes with a nice set of D’Addario strings. 10’s I assume. As with my other DLX, it was much happier after a good fretboard oiling, and I gave the fret playing surfaces a courtesy polish - maybe a couple of weeks of playing would have dealt with that. I don’t intend to change the pickups. They seem great for my level - same ones as in the DLX, I assume.
