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!

The dual-coil humbucking pickup delivers a very dynamic and fat sound, while reducing or "bucking" unwanted noise and hum.
Indio Cali Classic Guitars are perfect for beginners or for players that need a reliable practice or backup axe. They feature easy-to-play, "fast" satin necks and quiet, full sounding pickups.
Make no bones about it, this guitar is gig-ready right out of the box! But if you are the type of player that is into customizing your instrument, it is super easy to upgrade the electronics or other hardware to make this Indio guitar your own. It is a great way to experiment with tone and aftermarket parts, without the risk of damaging or destroying your primary instrument.
