You don't really expect much at $50, but I was a little surprised that Adorama would house-brand such a poor quality product. I've bought other house-branded products from them like their lighting kits that were great.
It has great reviews and sound. I left some links on the last deal post about it. When mine arrives I will report more.
I did see some reports about limited build quality concerns on the Boroughs; that I could have bought for just $46. I did like the head stock shape on the Boroughs; but the MP was fine. I went with the solid top $60 MP and their good return policy; should there be any a problem with the guitar.

Actually Monoprice has a lot of crap. You have to choose wisely. The DLX's are very cool.
Where is another SOLID top acoustic and extras like that for $60?
[Crickets]
I love my eBay electric guitar BTW. It's just Monoprice has padded cases, slick when the Classic is on sale. DLX bargains too; if you like heavy wood. A lot of choice. Everyone seems to love them from that Cali Classic $67 SlickDeal post. Many positive reviews. Figure it out. Oh, and sand that darn point off the Monoprice head stock. My $56 eBay strat-bay looks like an expensive Suhr head-stock shape and I like it with no logo. It's not hard to make one though.
I almost forgot! I love the Stage Right 15W all tube combo EQ/Reverb I bouight for $202! And I don't care if some don't like it was from Monoprice.
I also HIGHLY recommend the CubeBaby Multi FX/amp/IR loading pedal at only $35! The combo and the Baby work both together (WELL) and work well apart too. The best of both worlds, tube and non-tube. And guess what? That the CubeBaby ain't from Monoprice.
I might tell you which version Cube Baby to look for and where to find it; if SOME of you weren't so rude.
AND Monoprice served me very well on several purchases and in a manner I do not often see anymore. Currently they are making me wait a long time on my Acoustic! Which sucks!
The word is its their new computer system or software being installed and a surge in orders. I did NOT like that I had to call them, as the tracking button was just blank/Greyed. They could have just posted; that my order was still going and the delayed, etc, instead of a dead button.
But you know what? They nicely credited me two price drops so far and they very kindly apologized for this snafu. So, I think I'll live through it. With a a brand new SOLID Spruce top beauty. Some day. LOL.
LOL, that he/she is. I love my DLX HHS I got and may even love the $65 dollar Tele more since doing a set up and putting flat wounds on it. The tone sounds fantastic through my Headrush MX5.

How much does your DLX HHS weight?
I thought you said Dollar Tree (store) for guitar LOL. I also ducked in one of those (other) $5 stores; where many things were way over $5 and they had this guitar for about $80; but on close inspection, mostly covered in it's shiny pictured, cardboard box. And looking at the STUNNING Acoustic guitar top then it looked like a photograph of a wood grain top laminated on the plastic. Ha ha. Those do not count.
We are living blessed; people. Toy guitars cost more than you can get a decent real (solid top) guitar! Not because it's Monoprice; but SOLID Spruce is a big deal.
What doesn't sound good through a Headrush MX5? Or the Cube Baby. You'd be shocked, it sounds good too.

I have had three of the Monoprice solid spruce acoustics in my hands - I'm not as technically adept at assessing but for my eyes, ears, and hands - I was frequently astounded after each play. I gave or sold them, and have one on order. I got it on sale + a coupon code, though perhaps I should ask for an additional discount? I appreciate your generosity of sharing your perspectives and experiences!

Try the Temu app on your device. Thank you for asking. Vet Temu (policy etc..) to your liking or not liking. I had no problem.
Ali Express if you can not do an app; but they are weird. it's difficult and you might have to wait to find it lower with all costs totaled. Ali is a PITA. There are as others I have not tried, like Bang Goods or something like that. Be careful.
Oh and THANK YOU for your first hand report about not one; but 3 MP acoustics. It matches all the other reports I found. And it makes you wonder about that pretense of a terrible report that could have been returned, if it were just a lost lotto. But not solid top? Lie! Overplayed. Yet; even if they send the wrong guitar then that too could be refunded too. It's clearly someone peeved at a $59.99 SOLID top acoustics. Sad.
Can you imagine how fast Monoprice would go down if they did not honor their policy? It would be company suicide. They could not hide.

thanks - and due to the delay of this recent order, Monoprice is taking off 10% from the order (thanks for the idea to ask).
In the past, they have been very good about shipping quickly.

Agreed, but not all $50-$100 guitars are a gamble. These are reportedly so. Thanks for posting anyway.
Note: Every single new online guitar is different technically. You never know what you are going to get. It will vary; but not more for varied at a low price. I still prefer buying online.
Plus, if a buyer wanted to watch a few videos and do some simple setup then the lowest cost, good rep guitars could be great if the core has no issues. Not that all of them need setup, or especially more. DLX's are stated pro setup more.
Have a great return policy for online guitars, not just for any imperfectly smooth frets. It may be every price level from about $50 to $5000 and up then all come with medium setup, and folks expectations vary more. If you get a supreme setup then the details will be stated first, on newly ordered guitars. And even then any fresh guitar can get fret sprout. That's no big deal.
Badly miss fitted unfix-able parts should go back. The best thing is money back for anything. And beware some sales are of rejected guitars. So please be sure to send them back and we will see less of that. So light fixing can be the slickers deal. Not errors and mistakes. And not all lowest price guitars need anything. If up to a better nut would put all into perfect balance then a pre cut TUSQ nut would still be a major win, or else just return it. And it's your call.
If you want a scratch and dent bargain then you need to put eyes on it first. There are better ways than blems.
After extensive research, guitars made in any other country, such as Mexico for the expensive Fenders and China (including Squire's), Indonesia, Korea and many more then the low cost comes from many cumulative factors. Beside the fact Leo made Strats and Tele's etc, EASY to make, we now also have new machines set to more exact specifications and splitting out mass produced parts of HIGHER quality, requiring fewer hands on workers, of which they have numerous and less business expenses and red tape by far, in those countries. Benefiting workers and their towns greatly and feeding their children. If we would like to make better products, at a better price per value in the USA then we do not have to forgo safety to do it; but it IS NOT POSSIBLE to make them lower cost under the current US laws. This is backfiring on us. And of course we can't just not allow trade, in order to compete. If we do not compete on the world market then we will regret that. And finally; my guitar (Lowest cost and really nice one) was ordered in LARGE bulk quantity by an enterprising US eBay seller who recognized they don't suck. And made profit selling numerous guitars on eBay, for the bulk gains. Making mine a mere $56. And THAT'S why it's possible.
This is how you can tell. The more folks paid for their like kind guitars then the more they put down the individual components of low cost guitars. But they often do not indicate why, or their assumed reason and reports do not hold up to the light. People will believe just exactly what they want to believe. Until it comes home to them later.
Subtle things like... "Well I didn't expect it to be any good..." Etc. And there's far to much appeasing the hordes who are steaming about it. You should not have to do that. Mistakenly thinking we've robbed their so called "Investment" expense. And shills gonna be shilling. That's real. Verify everything! The jig is up. It's only about brand names and brainwashing.
This holds true for guitars and only some other products, not all products. A guitar is relatively simple; but must be in balance as a whole. There is ZERO problem with play-ability, sound, options, or any other thing a guitar needs to do. And this ALSO can include Ash wood, modern gear and pro setup under $120(money back); which demonstrates those are not the problem. Just preferences.
And the Classic models around online street prices of $60-70(w/case) or $80 HSS, are just like latest Fenders, in that they are NOT exact copies of the original types parts. Technically NONE are "authentic" to the originals; because you wouldn't want ALL the 1st original vintage parts. All these are basically classic; but with very much appreciated improvements! They are all a mix. Name brands to no logo at all. So technically any "authentic" brand isn't. And you can stamp any writing you want on them. You just can't sell them (legally and morally) as if the others product. And names are fine for knowing who's who.
I've now verified my no name e-Strat-Bay guitar and it is, in every part and tonal sound review of them matching a Glarry Brand. So I know it's made in the very same factory(or factories). I'm not guessing, I'm "finger printing" it (each part) down to the last detail. It's not possible to have so many parts exactly the same. The chances are astronomical. I don't mean just similar. They are all Strat DNA(or Tele DNA/offspring etc), but usually have slightly different parts and choices. There's always some differences and mine and the Glarry S type match. Such that they could have been guitars #1 and #2 made that day. Not that they were; but they are that close, and all known part substances including what they stated are the same. As well as sound tests and with my own tests, with each part like the fine pickups. Identical pros and cons to the entire guitar. And of course their fittings as well.
For example a Calli Classic Indio has a different fret board radius and many other little things. It is a slightly different model, even if from the same place. And a great one.
So a brand name guitar is NOT authentic technically(Yes they are from that maker of course), just the authentic DNA style. Just the same on (low cost; yet vetted) $56 guitars. Not toys costing even more. Not wall art. Just reported fine guitars with return policies to back them up. No one is forcing folks to keep these. They are well liked and without a high return rate.
And there is another low cost, odd brand (Fesley) and it's said to be made in the very same Fender factory. Good reviews; but I just do not like that particular odd head-stock shape. A pure preference. Some preferences have a logical reason and some do not. I'm not concerned with those. It's just the Science says there's a lot of BS, myths and worse going around. So for the buyer, beware.
Shills do not want this getting out. Not to mention plain ole fear and pride for collectors who think their guitar farm is a bank account. It's a loss. It's simply too rare to sell collectors guitars for more than you paid for it, and make that a good, regular business. Sure there are exceptions; but they are not telling you what they have lost, in resell value. Nor do they like to remember that. And no where did I say you do not have the right to waste your own money, anyway you want!
