Source? Don't post a comment like this and you have no clue. These Indio guitars have fantastic reviews from plenty of players. They might need a little setting up (fret work, truss rod etc...) but other than that.. for $70? You can't beat it. (FYI, I'm a professional musician who writes music for TV shows. Watch TV? You've heard my music)

Also NOTE - this price is also good for the Telecaster equivalent. I just bought the blue with maple neck. https://www.monoprice.com/product...kgQAvD_BwE

Also keep watch for the Monoprice 15W (Like a 50W) 25lb combo tube amp slickest deal! It would be $198 if it were in stock. ETA is January. Highly recommended. 1x12 Celestion guitar type speaker. The most important factor in the tone.

It's not restricted to being a practice-only amp; yet can go low volume too.

The entire Monoprice site is 15% off. Look for sales and get -15% the sales; unless it says already with. both.

All brand new guitars can settle and get fret sprout; requiring careful polishing. Protect the height and width. See online videos. It's easy.

These are great for first time guitar care and leaning setup T.R.A.I.N. Reports say they are well setup; but can vary some.

If you will never work on your own guitar then go to a store. It will cost you at first and repeatedly.

You can find a White one; but it may not be from a trusted seller with easy returns. Wish, eBay, Aliexpress. YMMV. So Slickdelas will not post them. It may be fine if you check with buyers who got theirs; but it MIGHT have a slightly higher rate of errors; that can't be easily fixed. Most have no issues.

These could be the best value for your custom special project build and cheaper than an unpainted kit. But these are finished, new and cheaper than used gear.

If you plan on many parts mods then I suggest staying with about $10 upgrades or instead buying-up and getting parts you want maybe cheaper. I'm just saying it's probably not for the highest end, crazy priced parts. The parts included work great and if you break them then they are inexpensive to fix.

I recommend a floating tremolo (Optional locked down or bend only down) and you will simply need to balance it. Read first. Use the EXACT fitting Phillips head driver. Don't strip out your screws; but a toothpick can fix them.

This deal can stop and per color, at anytime by different ways. OOS, base sale stops, Code expires. As has happened before.

Monoprice support and return policy lets you change your mind; so don't miss it if you need one. Smilie

Really like that blue one, actually. But I can definitely not justify any more guitar purchases atm.

I bought the blue burst one earlier this year and I love it. At this price, it's a no-brainer. Upgrade the tuners in the future if it falls out of tune too often.
