Enjoy the bright projection of solid spruce with the Idyllwild™ Spruce Solid Top Acoustic Electric Guitar! Our solid top guitars offer a level of playability found only on guitars costing $400-$500 or more. Great for direct recording to computer, rockin' on a Saturday night, or leading worship on Sunday morning, the Fishman® Isys+ pickup system provides a warm, natural tone, while its built-in chromatic tuner ensures that you are always in tune and sounding your best.
The 10mm thick heavy-duty gig bag protects your guitar from dings and scrapes as you travel. All Monoprice guitars are setup by hand in Southern California. Setups include having the frets filed so they are free of sharp edges, ensuring that the nut and bridge are properly seated at the correct height, that the strings have the right amount of action with no buzzing, and that the electronics are functioning properly, so you can plug in (or not) and play right out of the box!
Solid Top: Solid top guitars offer richer sound with a greater dynamic range than laminate or ply tops. This means that high frequencies sound sweeter and low frequencies are fuller.
Fishman® Isys+ Pick Up: The Fishman® Isys+ pickup system provides a warm, natural tone, while its built-in chromatic tuner ensures that you are always in tune and sounding your best.
Protection: The 10mm thick heavy-duty gig bag protects your guitar from dings and scrapes as you travel.
Enjoy!

I've bought plenty of things from monoprice, from one of their tube amps to hdmi cables and other things but as far as their instruments go, based on my personal experience, I would say buyer beware or proceed with caution. But who knows, maybe the quality is better now and you wind up lucking out.

Another factor is that wood should be seasoned prior to a build and at this price it's a definite, probably not, maybe, hopefully, who knows.... and it will change depending on rh, temp, season, aging, climate, position of the sun and moon, your GF's mood, and the height of your grass
It's a fine looking axe even if just for decoration imho.
I would definitely be hesitant and filtering reviews is sure as hell a big red flag to me. I really don't get why companies do this. Monoprice products are not bad in general and yet they do these shady tactics like that's going to stay secret forever. Someone should create a list of companies that filters reviews out.
I had a horrible experience in with a contractor I had hired based 4.8/5.0 rating and 90+ positive reviews on homeadvisor.com. The slightly lower rated ones were not that bad at all. It was a BIG mistake. The guy not only didn't finish the job, he hit my car and screwed up the project wasting double the materials. I tried leaving the negative review and they wouldn't post it. After that I knew why their contractors have such high ratings. Its because they are either fake or just the positives.

The bass was the only guitar I didn't like. The Tube amp (Laney copy) and other guitars have been great.
