You can always sell this 2 years from now for what you paid for it or more.
This is a deal for a solid guitar. The quality and resale value make it great buy.

I'm going to have fun for a minute here and look at Fender pickguards:
Here's one from a Player Plus HSS:

and here's one from an American Ultra SSS:

The modular pickguard connector thing is cool af and I want that. But ya know, xaviere makes pickups for their $300 guitars that have minijack connectors lol. It's not a totally unheard of concept.
I'd like to find one of an Indio or an Indio DLX for comparison's sake. I mean, there's also the wood types, number of pieces of wood used, perhaps the construction of the neck.. idk...
I wonder how the indio /ebay guitars are built in terms of wood. Like what kinda wood do they use? How many pieces? How come they still look so good for $60 when warmoth wants a few hundred lol. I mean, if I went to a random carpenter and asked them to make me a stratocaster body it'd probably cost a couple hundred at least.
back on topic though: I think that when judging guitars I'd rather just throw everything else out the window and be like. Ok I'm in a guitar store picking up things and looking at them. Do I find them pretty? Do I like how they feel? great!
(Can do that with the $60 guitar with minimal risk since it's just $60. The return shipping would cost more lol)
I posted earlier about how well designed the Mono Strats are. I was not saying people should not get the Fender. I just thought it was weird that some rando starts crapping all over Mono guitars. And then more weirdos upvote this guy. Fender fan boys???
I have been playing guitar daily for 40 years. I have 3 Monos. I have not changed any hardware out of need. 2 are totally stock. I have several Gibsons, Fenders, etc. I play the Monos all day long. They are fine guitars for many players. I have thought about selling all my high end guitars, I never play them.
I also said the Fender looks very nice. One of the main things about a guitar is if it inspires you to play. This guitar will do that for many people. And the price is great. Go for it people!
I just didn't understand the need for someone to crap all over a mono cali when it is 1/10 the cost of a Fender and is 80-90% the guitar.

Sometimes you can get those for $150. Almost certainly for black friday. If you're only after the look, I'd just get that. It also has a satin neck. lol.

I also have one of the Mono Cali classics I got for $50 after coupon. It had a fair amount of fret sprout and the ceramic pickups were pretty thin sounding. I finished off the frets and dropped in some Fender Vintera '60s Modified pups and it sounds wonderful. The neck is a bit thinner whan what's on the Mono DLX's so I end up playing the Cali Classic the most.

My point is the 2nd post on here where the guy is trashing Mono guitars with no evidence what so ever. And then drooling monkeys are up-voting his post.
If a person was looking for a cheap starter guitar, they may end up buying this guitar which is way over priced for their needs.
I am a veteran player and do fine with Monos with no setup out of the box.

I've got a ton of guitars right now, probably 24. I've got 3 MIK Squier and several CV Squier (also that kickass Jazzmaster XII) so I'm not too much of a snob. My newest is an American Ultra HSS which i think is absolutely perfect but not worth triple the price of a MIM. I just really wanted one and plan on keeping for life.
But I thought the Mono ones sucked. Same fret spout and bad pickups. I do have a set of those same Vintera pickups laying around (thanks, Slickdeals) that i'll eventually put in something.

I have the CV Mustang and the Squier 40th Anniv Strat (which is very similar to the CV's). They are excellent guitars and with recent sales they are a true value in comparison to the actual Fender lines. Great workmanship and the stock pickups have the "Fender" tone.
