Indio by Monoprice Cali Classic HSS Electric Guitar, Humbucker and Dual Single Coil Pickups

The California Classic hot‑rodded and stage ready for performance!
The Monoprice™ Indio™ California Classic Electric Guitar has proved itself to be a stage ready performer at a price that is borderline ridiculous. And now in true California fashion, we added some extra muscle to the series. The Indio Cali Classic HSS Electric Guitar builds on the foundation of the original Cali Classic, with a hot‑rodded humbucking pickup in the bridge position for that essential rock 'n' roll punch.

Take your tone back to the glory days of rock without stressing over 60‑cycle hum. Often times, when cranking your amp to 11 with single‑coil pickups, typically found on this style of guitar, the sound can get a bit noisy. Of course, this is true of our Cali Classic models as well as big brand‑name guitars costing thousands of dollars. After all, single‑coil pickups can deliver very desirable vintage tones. However, humbucking pickups feature a reverse polarity dual‑coil design, which naturally removes those unwanted noises and allows thick and robust overtones to truly ring out!

These are great guitars... for the money. I bought a Cali Classic, SSS, a year ago. As shipped it was completely unplayable. After I dressed the frets, lined the body cavity with copper foil, changed the strings, tightened all the screws, and gave it a full set up it became a great guitar. If you don't mind putting in some work then these guitars are an excellent value.
PS- Don't expect much tuning stability from the vibrato bridge. Don't float it and keep the dips shallow- then it isn't too bad.

I've had an indian classic stratocaster blueburst for a year now and it's great. However, something that could be improved is that the guitars have medium jumbo frets since the factory ones are very small and wear easily, recover the 12-inch radius on the fingerboard and of course keep the blueburst finish, so this way they would have a true champion in the market. 🤘💪

I bought the p90 version, it makes a strange noise when I select the 2 individually, it is shielded and the ground is fine. What is the cause of this noise?
