Is this a FULLY HOLLOW or is it a SEMI HOLLOW guitar?

BEST ANSWER: This is a semi hollow body guitar. It arrived several weeks ago. I own over 20 guitars all of which are American Fenders, Gibsons Gretch and PRS. It is a very good value with good action and intonation. The frets needed to be polished and the tuning pegs needed tightening , the posts that hold the bridge in place needed some glue as they were loose. Once I made all the adjustments it became a fairly decent playable guitar probably worth twice the price. Don't expect this to be as good as a Gibson ES 335 which would cost 10 times as much.

I recently bought one. They would be considered Semi-Hollow since there is support for the neck running through the body of the guitar. I have several guitars and this guitar is really a great value.

Because it feels heavier in the rear than I anticipated I expect it is NOT fully hollow. I think there is a solid beam going right down the middle inside. It might be the hardware however but I don't remember my Gibson ES330 being that rear heavy but that was many years ago.

If you read the Monoprice description of this guitar, you'll see that it is a real "hollowbody guitar. Of course, it needs to have some internal blocking and bracing to make it sturdy, and this guitar has that.

This is ES335-like semi-hollow body guitar. I like it, but the neck may be a little narrow for some people.

This thing has great tone through every amp I've played it through. Only problem is the first two frets are placed wrong, so it also always sounds out of tune. This was true of the first one I got - I sent it back - it's less true of the second one, but still true enough to keep me from gigging with it. Disappointed. Other Indios were so much better.

Any tube amp. I recommend the small model from Monoprice which only costs about $100. Even a small solid state practice amp is fine if you run it clean with a pedal to modify the sound output.

BEST ANSWER: BTW that is part of the reason I ordered Graph-tech tuners but I am certain you can find others that don't require the screw holes that are priced more reasonably as the Ratio locking graph techs cost more than 50% of the price of the Boardwalk.

Ha - let me know how it goes when you put them on. Did you upgrade the nut too? I must say this is a better guitar than I expected for the price, and I've been tempted to do a full set of upgrades. I was looking at Hipshot and Gotoh locking tuners. I know there are cheaper ones than even those but if I'm spending money to upgrade I want it to really be an upgrade.

Has the sunburst coloring changed from the picture on the website? Some reviewers claim the back of the neck and edges of the body they received are solid black and no longer include the sunburst pattern. Is that true?

Bought out of curiosity. Totally surprised!
I was expecting this to be a project guitar where I would replace the Tuners, Pickups, Nut, and maybe the Bridge. And I figured it would need a total setup.
Nope. Everything was perfect. Setup and components. It plays and sounds so sweet. I am amazed that it could be this good at this price point! Looking hard at Indio guitars now.

Great value, great sound.
Great value for the cost. The low output pickups sound great and the fit and finish is what you'd expect at this price point. I did have to do some fret filing and polishing to get it where I prefer, but it was absolutely playable out of the box. I do wish the cool paint theme that is in the pictures of the one I bought was what shipped, but there were plenty of warnings in the reviews.

Great value pee dollar but NOT as pictured
Like others have mentioned, sides, neck and back are not flame -just plain black. Binding isn?t laminated- single layer ivory but looks good. Some cleanup around f-holes is about all it needed that can easily be done. Tuners are definitely the Achilles heel action wise but it plays well, reasonably well set up, decent strings and nicely finished and well worth the sale price. Pots are smooth and pretty linear, switch is an econo grade and is pretty clicky - that and the tuners will be changed at some point.
Good player, nice looking - what?s not to like?

Two things I hate about this guitar, and two I love.
I have TWO really bad gripes on this guitar: 1) needing to buy new tuners, the ones it came with don't work on any professional level - and i can order a nice set of locking tuners on Ebay from China for $19 free shipping, why couldn't you just make the guitar with those better tuners?? You were already in China! and 2) the bridge (based on a Tune-o-Matic style) must be replaced, it is nearly impossible to get your fingers to those way-too-small height adjuster screws. Big pain in the butt. But it still gets 3 stars for decent pickup sound and good feeling short-scale fingerboard.

Nut was not properly cut
My low E string was cut so snug that after tuning it for a couple of months it cut itself a deep enough groove that I have to replace the nut because I can't adjust away the string buzz. Action was always a little high, but I had to adjust it into the stratosphere to keep it from buzzing.
I adjusted the rod to it's maximum range (which it was very close to from the start, indicating they over filed the nut and made up for it by adjusting the rod to it's max range) and still have to have the action 3mm+ at the 12th fret.
Very poor work on the part of the luthier who set this up, who seems to have over sanded the nut and then adjusted the guitar to make up for their mistake.

It arrived in perfect condition. All I had to do is tune it up and it was ready to play. It's nice that it came with D'dario strings. The intonation is right on. The tone of the pickups are better than I expected at this price point. I really love the coloring and finish, as well. 5 stars from this buyer. It sounds like an ES 335 for sure! If you're looking for this style of guitar, it's a no brainer!!!
