I've had my boardwalk about a year and absolutely love it. When I was a gigging guitarist, I used Gibsons, Vox and Fender. I would have no problem using this as my stage guitar, even though I'm a home player now.
Like others, I had a few sharp frets to fix and some intonation to touch up, but once adjusted to my preference, this is an amazing guitar. After the setup, it holds tune extremely well. It sounds so good, I seldom use an amp at home.
As the title says, I wish you had a 12 string.

Finish is beautiful. Several fret edges had to be filed down prior to playing, and I had to shake left over wood shavings out of the front holes; however, I feel the guitar is a still quite a bargain for the prices.

who could want more for the price? Even tho' the pickups are pretty bright, I love them. The quality of this thing is way above it's price class - it's not perfect, but only those with unrealistic expectations would be disappointed. The finish is slick, the intonation is right on, and like I said, the sound is really good. I've got 2 custom shop Gibsons & of course, anybody could tell the difference -but you get almost 90% for what most of us do for less than 10% of the price? Sign me up every time.

This is a nice guitar. It?s well made, has a beautiful charcoal burst gloss finish, and has the wonderful mellow sound of a semi-hollowbody guitar. The blacked out hardware is a nice touch. I learned about this guitar from the guitar gear bloggers on YouTube. They ALL gave it great reviews. Some of the older reviews mentioned that the fret ends needed more polishing, and there was some nitpicking about the size and font of the Indio logo. More recent reviews indicate that these issues have been addressed. MY Indio guitar has polished fret ends and it APPEARS to me that the logo is a bit smaller. The fit and finish are EXCELLENT, so perhaps Monoprice has listened to customer complaints and has tightened up their QC. The BIG news here is the PRICE. EVERYONE, myself included, is STUNNED by how INEXPENSIVE this guitar is. The $250 list price is a STEAL! The YouTube bloggers claim that this guitar will go
head-to-head with other 335 style guitars costing 3 times as much! I agree.

Perfect guitar for my style

I went with the higher model that supposedly included setup by someone here in the US. The setup wasn?t done well at all. I?m dealing with some issues of fret buzz and a few other adjustments needed. I can?t imagine how it left the hands of the technician in that state.

Otherwise the guitar is beautiful, and will sound great soon.

I just received this guitar November 20, 2022 and it was obviously a return. The guitar was tuned and there was no paper on the strings. I suspect the previous buyer also realized the top is not flamed maple. It may be maple but it is certainly not flamed. There is a very faint spray paint striping designed to look like flame but definitely NOT flamed wood. This is very disappointing. I've attached a photo from the description (Amazon) and the actual guitar I received. The horns are completely black, not burst like the description photo. There are several minor finish flaws. The medium jumbo frets are sprouted and sharp and will require filing. This caused the binding to crack in several places. Fret crowns are very rough and will require polishing. On the bright side, the tuners are very good quality and the hardware appears to be decent. Unplugged, the guitar has a pleasant, resonant tone.

Love it. Looks great. Sounds great

You have heard it before. It's a great deal for the money! This one truly is. Flawless finish, quiet electronics, nice inlays, decent pickups. Even comes with a nice gig bag. This guitar is easily worth $400.00-$500.00 if it was domestically made. The only thing that I will warn you of is that the neck is pretty chunky. People with smaller hands may want to look elsewhere or buy it and get out the sandpaper.

A great value. Suggest buyer upgrade with strings made in USA
