I bought this guitar because it looks like my first electric, a Fender Mustang which I got in 1967. I didn't expect it to play well or sound good because of the low price, but it is just as good (but with a different "voice") as my American Professional Stratocaster at $1600.00 and my Carvin DC 137 at $700.00. The "soap bar" pickups produce a very clean sound (pun intended) with no hum or buzz as you might expect from an inexpensve electric. The bridge pickup sounds a lot like a Telecaster. The neck pickup has its own unique "fat" sound, but not quite as fat as a Stratocaster. I love this guitar! You need to buy this guitar before Monoprice realizes what they have and raises the price!

A very solid guitar for the price. The neck had a few minor imperfections on the fretboard, but the frets themselves were well cut and rounded. No buzzing on the fretboard as well. The P90 "soapbar" pick ups sound amazing. Great all around purchase and would recommend.

This is my 3rd Indio guitar and may be my favorite.
Nice guitar for the price. It came with the action set pretty well, the intonation was way off but that's an easy fix.

Sold my '62 Original Jazzmaster years ago. It was great playing. Been wanting a Blues guitar for a long time and heard of this guitar. I purchased a new G. Les Paul Custom in March '23 and sent it back. Didn't feel or play like $ 2500.00.
This Indio Offset OS30 DLX Guitar, Ivory. Is Everything I could ever want in a guitar. It rocks and it's a blues guitar. Extremely well Crafted. Feel is like it wants to be next to you. These pick ups give sounds you don't hear these days. It's growls when you crank it up and beautiful clear when you want clean.
The neck is Unbelievable > GREAT-Fantastic ! Smooth slick and fast. I play ALL 22 frets and they are all awesome.
It comes set-up and actually " in tune " after taking it out of the beautiful case it was in. I do all my own 'tweeking' . As we-all-do.
I will Honestly tell you-- If I was blind folded and handed this guitar to play, then asked what I'd give for it. I AM TELLING YOU.. $ 1000.00
The $ 2500.00 Les Paul I sent back doesn't even come close to playability, feel and just plain 'lacking'.
I use the Trem/whammy and this stays IN-Tune.
I said 1k because = it's ivory white. Not a quilted maple top , just regular tuners but high quality ones.
OK ---> here are the Cons. mono directional trem/whammy. meaning you cannot pull up. I would like to have Locking tuners BUT the way these factory's are working...I may not need 'em.
THAT'S IT !! If I could ? I still would not change a Single thing. This neck is a dream. The sound beats a humbucker and single coil any day. This guitar becomes Alive in your hands. Remember Soapbar pick ups and Craftsmanship. It's not too heavy and not too light. I am considered a professional player by many. I just like playing and have since I was 8.
I know this may sound wierd.. But , of all guitars I have played and own- ( high quality nice ones ) This is in my top 3 for Overall playability and personality.
I'm just enjoyin playing music here in Western ILLINOIS , Chris G. p.s. > it's better than my ole '62 ever was.

Great guitar ! I've always wanted an offset guitar...love the look of that style.

The OS30 was very affordable, and the quality was way above what I expected.

Once I did a setup and put new strings on it plays really well ! Not a tremolo user so can't comment on that.

All in all I can't believe they can put out such a nice product so inexpensively.

I really love this guitar, even if it's not perfect. These soapbar pickups sound surprising good! The body is in really nice shape and the colour is more vintage white (hard to tell in the picture). It feels well balanced on the lap and standing - and I actually prefer the Strat style trem over the JM style one (more stable). Surprisingly, I really love the gloss neck on these Indios, even over the satin ones in my collection already!

I changed the tone & volume knobs because they looked cheap. The frets don't stick out at all, but the corner edges of each fret are rather sharp and need to be rounded off. I may replace/upgrade the tuners eventually, but they are perfectly fine for now.

I really like this guitar - I don't see me having to upgrade to a higher-level offset as this one scratches all those itches!

This guitar rocks.

In the past I was never interested in offset guitars. In electrics, I've always been attracted to 335 style, strat or lp style. But everyone was raving about this guitar so I thought I'd try to order one. Unfortunately, they were sold out. So I put my email on notification. Then Squier had a sale on Bulletts so I bought one of those. Big mistake. The guitar must have completely bypassed QC because the neck was not bolted down, leaving it at almost a 45 degree angle towards the body. No big deal, I thought, I'll just tighten it up and that should handle the problem. Well, it was just the beginning of one thing leading to another (i.e. sharp fret ends, levelling the neck with the bridge, too small frets, etc.). So I sent it back. Finally, the OS30 came back in stock and I ordered one, and it arrived in good condition. So far so good. It needs a setup, but just minor to the way I like a guitar to feel. It's easy to pickup and play and great for practice. Recommended.

Clean. No blemishes or cracks. Setup is good. Knobs work. Won't stay in tune, not sure if this is the strings, the trem, or the tuners. I will put on new strings and see what that does. The trem is quite stiff. Overall I am happy enough. Used it on a couple of recording demos and took it to a gig and my lead player used it on a song. Sounds fine, about what one should expect from a JM copy.

I own 3 Monoprice Guitars And with a little set up they are as good as Guitars costing twice as much...Great sound , Great lookig and Sound Great A+
