This is an excellent rock guitar and a slick deal. If you're a beginner, I can't think of a better starter electric. If you're in the market for a dual-humbucker hard rock guitar, it's an excellent guitar that hangs with instruments several times its price.

I've played both, and Monarkhs stomp all over the low-end Epiphone LP Jr. and SGs. The body is contoured, so it's far more comfortable to play than the slab bodies on Epis or the bound body on a real Les Paul. The headstock is straight-pull, so bending notes doesn't knock them out of tune. The neck is compound radius and bound, which you usually don't see until > $500. Fretwork is better than you usually see at the price. Neck is slim and shred-friendly, but not quite as ironing-board thin as Ibanez.

The only reasons I can see not to get one are that you want a Strat-style guitar with single coil pickups, you want a tremolo, or you want a thick, chunky neck.

Until Adorama's stock runs out. Sometimes a day and sometimes weeks

Thanks for the comment! I'm looking to learn how to play the guitar. Would I just need this and a amp to get started?

Instrument cable as well. 😅 Oh, and the most important thing: A tuner.

If you don't want to make noise at home you could get a Cubebaby pedal to use with headphones.

Depends on whether you want single coils or humbuckers. Single coils have a glassier sound and are great for cleaner tones. Humbuckers are better for high gain tones, but can still do good clean tones. Different sounds for different preferences/styles.

Yep, and some pics and a shoulder strap and a tuner, remember this saying to remember the string notes: Eddie Ate Dynamite Eddie Is Gone, plus you will need a lot of practice and patience! Practice, practice, practice. Also some regular, good in person lessons with someone you vibe good with. Wish you the best of luck, and remember anything worth doing is never easy.

Don't you mean: Eddie Ate Dynamite, Good Bye Eddie?

EADGBE

I learned the string names in reverse order with Every Bad Girl Deserves An Egg. 😂

Recommend a spark amp. The spark go is really cool. All the guitar tones you can shake a stick at are included.

Any details on the pickups? DC resistance? Magnet type? Subjective thoughts of "hotness"?
