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.

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.

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.

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.

a tube amp will really bring out the sound, I have heard good things about the tube amp here from monoprice, though i have no experience with it myself., i have played it on my peavy tube amp though and it sounds great.

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.

It's medium weight. Lighter than a Les Paul, slightly heavier than a strat. I like the weight. It's balanced well, too.

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!!!

NIce guitar, but not what pictured or described.
Nice Guitar, but not what was pictured. As others have noted, some are getting guitars with the solid Black Black and side, head. Otherwise is nice and plays fine. I did not want to go through the hassle of returning. Still somewhat bummed, instead of a unique paint job , it is just run of the mill.

As good as it gets
Anyone considering a semi-hollow body, es 335 style guitar should give this one a chance. Flawless finishes, fast neck, accurate. Every bit as good as ones costing much more.

Great guitar
This guitar offers great value along with a good sound it produces. I’ve looked over every part of this guitar and the quality is simply amazing. You could pay thousands more and simply not have any better guitar. This is my second monoprice guitar. I also own Martin, fender, ovation, Alvarez, Yamaha, plus a few more guitars and this one seems destined to become one of my favorites. One bonus on both the guitars, was that they were set up and ready to play. I don’t know who does this any better than Monoprice. I’ve certainly bought “higher end guitars“ from classy music stores that were not set up as well as both these guitars were out of the box.

Did not send the guitar I paid for.
The guitar I paid for was the one depicted with not only a flamed top and back but also flamed sides, neck, and headstock. The one I received had a flamed top and back but the sides, neck ,and headstock were painted black. A much cheaper process than what was promised. The finish had one minor flaw on the binding. The setup was good . Debating on sending it back but I'm afraid that I will end up with something worse. It's a decent guitar for the price just not what I was promised.
