The Monoprice Indio California Classic has proved itself to be a stage ready performer at a price that is borderline ridiculous, so in true California fashion, we gave it some muscle! 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 (the most rock-n-roll position to play).
Take your tone back to the glory days of 80s heavy metal. When you want to turn your amp up to 11, the standard single-coil pickups typically found on this style of guitar can create a buzzing sound. This is true of our Cali Classic as well as big brand-name guitars costing thousands of dollars. The humbucking pickup in the bridge position features reverse polarity on the dual-coil pickup, which naturally removes unwanted noises and lets nothing but the heavy, crunchy rockitude out!
The dual-coil humbucking pickup delivers a nice, fat sound, while reducing or "bucking" unwanted noise and hum.
Indio Cali Classic Guitars are perfect for beginners or for players that need a practice or backup axe. They feature easy-to-play, "fast" satin necks and quiet, full sounding pickups.
Change the pickups or change the pots to make this Indio guitar your own. The large open cavity allows for complete customization. It is a great way to experiment with tone and aftermarket hardware, without destroying your primary piece.
All Indio Cali Classic Electric Guitars ship with a protective Gig Bag to defend your axe against dings and scratches as you travel.
