Monoprice 610162 Cali Classic Electric Guitar Wine Red Indio Series

The Monoprice Cali Classic Electric Guitar from the Indio Series brings a time-tested double-cutaway solid-body design to players at an accessible price point. Built around a maple neck with a rosewood fretboard, this full-size guitar features 22 frets, a 25.5-inch scale length, and a comfortable 9.5-inch neck radius — dimensions that mirror the industry standards found on instruments costing many times more. The Wine Red finish gives it a classic aesthetic that looks at home on any stage or in any practice space.

The SSS pickup configuration with three standard single-coil pickups provides the bright, articulate tones that define genres from blues and country to surf rock and funk. A five-way pickup selector switch allows players to dial in a range of sounds from crisp bridge-position bite to warm neck-position fullness. For beginners, the Cali Classic offers a legitimate platform for learning proper technique on a real full-size instrument, while more experienced players may appreciate it as an affordable backup guitar or a platform for pickup and hardware modifications. The included gig bag makes it ready to carry from day one, adding practical value to an already budget-conscious package.
