This was my starter guitar 2 years ago. Bought another color when they were $54. Solid guitar with minor adjustments needed out of the box.

Paired it with a Cuvave multi-effect pedal and headphones and carried me for almost a year of practicing.

Comparetively, even at $74, it is a tremendous value for a beginner.

Outside of FB Marketplace, you cannot find a guitar with a humbucker this cheap, let alone brand new. Wow.

Indio punches way above its weight class. It might not last you a decade, but it has some solid sound, great feel, and really lets you practice on different bodies and necks in a great way.

Probably would buy if I didn't already have an indio tele clone. Warning to beginners that these will generally need work outside of the standard setup like sharp fret ends, loose tuning keys, and even a magnet loose from the pickup...all things I had to fix on my indio tele. As long as you are prepared for these and other things, they are well worth $75 and below.

Weird. My Tele and Strat were perfect out of the box

My first Indio was a Tele and it was great out of the box especially for only $70. I then got the "DLX Plus" HSS Strat for $100 which is supposed to be nicer with upgraded hardware and stuff, but the frets were awful. They weren't all fully seated in the neck and a bunch of them had really sharp ends. I found a no name neck on Amazon for $9 (probably a price mistake) and swapped it out and the guitar is great now.

If nothing else, these are great to practice working on

This a good starter guitar for someone who has never played?
