Overview

The Monoprice Indio Boardwalk semi-hollow body electric guitar is designed to bring the classic tone, look, and feel of premium semi-hollow instruments to a fraction of the typical cost. Its true semi-hollow body construction features a solid center block beneath the pickups, which eliminates the feedback problems associated with fully hollow guitars while preserving the lighter weight and natural resonance that define the semi-hollow sound. The maple body paired with a rosewood fretboard produces a balanced tonal palette, and the ceramic humbucking pickups deliver enough warmth for jazz and blues while handling overdrive and distortion cleanly for rock and heavier styles.

What sets the Boardwalk apart from similarly priced competitors is the professional setup performed by a master luthier at Monoprice's Southern California facility. Each guitar is inspected, adjusted, and tuned before shipping, which means the neck relief, string action, and intonation are properly dialed in right out of the box. Aesthetic details like the bound body and neck, block fretboard inlays, and the striking orange finish give the guitar a high-end appearance that belies its budget-friendly price. For players looking for a versatile, well-built semi-hollow guitar for practice, gigging, or recording, the Boardwalk represents a compelling combination of quality craftsmanship and affordability.

Key Features

True Semi Hollow Body Construction: Unlike full hollow body guitars, semi hollow body guitars use a center block to mount the pickups. This eliminates the feedback that is typically associated with full hollow body guitars, making semi hollow body guitars the best choice for music that uses overdrive and distortion. Additionally, semi hollow body guitars are lighter and more resonant than their solid body cousins, giving them a mellower tone that is well suited to playing both jazz, blues, and

Professionally Set Up In California by Our Master Luthier: In addition to better construction and specs, what really separates Indio Boardwalk guitars from others is the exceptional playability out of the box. Every Indio Boardwalk semi hollow body guitar is domestically QC'd and set up by our master luthier in Southern California. This ensures perfect playability right out of the box, providing a playing experience that is superior to any guitar costing several times the price.

Classic, High End Styling: Besides practical reasons, like tone and playability, semi hollow body guitars are attractive for their looks and body design. Indio Boardwalk guitars deliver classic semi hollow body styling with high end touches only found in instruments costing several times more. Featuring a bound body and neck, block inlays on the rosewood fingerboard, and ceramic humbuckers, Indio Boardwalk guitars deliver equally in both tone and looks.

Good for Jazz, Blues, Rock, and everything in between.

Boardwalk guitars embody everything that is good about Indio guitars with superior quality, specs, and style, at a fraction of the cost of other semi hollow body guitars.
