I bought one of these last summer. It's a great guitar. Definitely was setup before I received. Great intonation and sound. I would avoid the hollow bodies. I've had bad luck with those.
Out of all of these Monoprice guitars, which one is the best one to get?!?
Looks like the DLX models are slightly upgraded, so I'd pony up for those.
If you know vaguely what kind of sound you want to go for, you can pick based on that. The more fun you have, the more you're going to keep playing, so it helps if you can get the kind of sound you enjoy listening to.
Like, if you enjoy that classic rock sound, maybe go for an S-style/Strat style. If you enjoy a country twang, maybe try the T-style/Telecaster style.
You're going to be able to do a lot of fun stuff with any of them, so it's probably more important to just get the one that makes you want to play.

For a beginning guitar player, still avoid hollow body?
I take it acoustic is usually recommended to start on, but I've wondered if hollow body might be enough of both worlds to start with (and easier because of lower action).

I think he's saying the build quality of their semi-hollow (monoprice doesn't sell hollowbodies) isn't great.
There isn't going to be much difference between a fully-hollow, semi-hollow or solid body, anyway. All three will use electric strings, which are lighter and easier on the fingers, compared to an acoustic guitar.
There are a small group of people who believe beginning on an acoustic is better, as it will strengthen your fingers, due to requiring more pressure on the strings. However, most also agree that a person is going to practice more and have more fun if they are playing the instrument they prefer.

It's hard to go wrong with the 66 DLX Plus Les Paul style guitars. I have two of them and they don't disappoint!
