@Allen-tm9xn 7 месяцев назад

Indio was made by Monoprice, they make some really good stuff for the money! They make an amplifier called stage right tube 15 they make other ones too, which are very good amplifiers. I have one been playing it for about 7 years !

@corporalrich 7 месяцев назад

Sean, seriously, sharpen that knife, lol! Sounded great. I need an HSS setup like that, really versatile.

@cee128d 7 месяцев назад

I picked up one of the Indeo SSS Strat style guitars from Monoprice a couple of years ago when it was on sale for $79 and free shipping. Absolutely hate the headstock, but the rest of the guitar is fine. I still need to do some more fret work on it when I get the time. I picked up some of the tools via your description area, just haven't taken the time to get around to it yet.

@rogerj.reinke6224 7 месяцев назад

Indio guitar sounds great once you crowned thosw frets. Great price too. Thanks Roger Wombat.

@Bbbbad724 7 месяцев назад

That is a really good starting point. I really enjoy having the opportunity to listen and learn. Some things I can’t do myself. But I have a good friend who can help me get the job done. I still try to do all I can myself. And I just can’t thank yall enough for giving me the confidence since I lost 85% of my vision. I am grateful for the opportunity. I can’t wait to hear that Silvertone with Almico 5 Humbuckers in it. It sounds so watery compared to my old Single Humbucker Strat. That thing had a bite. All Fender and no ceramic or junk hardware. I really am looking forward to this DIY. I have built a lot of race motors that cleaned house. Since I can’t drive anymore I have been depressed. But now I have guitars and the best teachers in the world!

@garydrichard5559 7 месяцев назад

I’m with on that brother, my blindness is not as advanced as yours but it’s getting worse very quickly, I get injections monthly but it’s not helping much. I’m very happy to have found this channel because maybe I’ll be able to learn enough to build a few for my grandsons. I’ve been blessed with 2 players out of my 5 grandkids bi don’t have the kind of money to buy them high end guitars, but I think I can build them a couple that sounds like high end guitars, or that’s the goal I’ve set. Praying that science somehow makes progress on stopping blindness 👃😎

@ChristopherRollins-s7l 7 месяцев назад

I have been playing this same guitar in white for almost a year. I have to say that I got lucky- my frets were shiny and nice when I received it. I thought I would change out the pickups, but honestly it’s the best sounding set of ceramics I have heard in a long time. The bridge humbucker has way more gain than the single coils and that keeps me reaching for the volume knob, but otherwise I truly love this guitar. I bought a Firefly Jazzmaster copy at the same time. It has jazzmaster style single coils and looks great, but just doesn’t play as well as the Indio. I have two other Indio guitars - both are the Cali Classic Strat, and I have heavily modified them, but they are great playing guitars and tremendous value for the $$$

@kevinduncan7301 7 месяцев назад

Love your folksy style. I bought the Indio strat a couple years ago. I have a dozen guitars. But I play the Indio more than several others. Stock pups too!😊

he is the proof of learning how to adjust guitars and electrics from Indio or IYV are what you need to start with ... There is little to be done and they are pretty good and cheap electric guitars.

@Gerry-cg6kr 2 дня назад

Indio are nice for the money. Best choices are good to

@carlc2597 7 месяцев назад

I bought an Indio Strat for my grandson in 2019 and was very impressed. Beautiful sunburst over a flame maple top, probably a veneer, but still very attractive. It has a Wilkinson 2 point floating trem, and Wilkinson pickups on a white pearloid pick guard. A very nice looking guitar and plays great, for 179.00 delivered. I bought it for him after buying the Stage Right 15 watt tube amp for myself and being very impressed with it, also 179.00 delivered.

@danedearmond4905 7 месяцев назад

I have actually found something I disagree with you on Sean.... I actually like that headstock shape. It's unique. And you're correct, it does kinda look like a hawk / eagle head.

@matthew3792 7 месяцев назад

I agree with you buddy that hawk bill doesn't look bad I've seen a whole lot worse you could easily round it off but I kind of like it could definitely live with it think I'm going to order one 👍

@matthew3792 7 месяцев назад

Wish I new how thick the neck is I hate fat necks but for that price can change the neck that's what I would of done with broke one

@BrianLTanner 7 месяцев назад

@OakCityGamers 7 месяцев назад

this happened to me with a Donner. off amazon. I got the replacement and ups threw it against the top of the wedge the replacement was fine after all that headache. I got it it was fine but the fret sprout was fish love the vids. thanks as usual Don't you touch my scarred guita!!

@Bbbbad724 7 месяцев назад

My Silvertone had green frets too and you have to stay after them.

@ottovonnekpunch1268 7 месяцев назад

Well Sean, that headstock kinda reminds me of da "Schnozz", Jimmy Durante! That's ok, 'cause once you got those frets squared away, the tone and looks wont hold ya back! "Ha-cha-cha-cha" ! Damn, I'm old...

@demuthjesse 7 месяцев назад

I love the headstock too. Espically on the tele I have. It came set up with the lowest action I have ever seen on a guitar. I have 9 guitars including a Jackson, fender and epiphone. My indio is my best set up/best playing guitar to this day. The only problem is the softness of the fret material. They wear very quickly.

@cooperst765 7 месяцев назад

I have that same headstock on one of my Harley Benton Strats. Looks great, brother.

@barriehercock8612 7 месяцев назад

Another great video Sean, great guitar ,not keen on swimming bath pickup route ,although i saw a walk round Fender there was a lot of unfinished bodies wi swimmming bath routes in the Corona factory ,keep up the great work

@Bbbbad724 7 месяцев назад

It is right on!

@DrFelch 7 месяцев назад

I have one. it's not bad at all. I had a pro go over the frets for me. Mine had pretty bad fret sprout. I'll prolly pop a "cool rails" in the neck eventually, 'cuz that's how I roll. To me, a bolt on is a bolt on, pretty much. By the time I'm done getting it the way I like it, I might end up with about $300 total into it. I'm really happy with that. It'll be about as good as any other bolt on with a regular tremolo at that point.

@MashaT22 7 месяцев назад

Why do they ship guitars in such crappy boxes?! Gonna cost more in broken guitars getting returned than investing in decent boxes, lol. Seems backwards! Wow, those frets are greeeeeeeeeen!! It’s a cool guitar, minus the beak! 😂😂😂

@Bbbbad724 7 месяцев назад

I plan to put a roller GBE tree on mine, but I don’t know the angle right now. I had an intonation problem with G that came and went, now I think I understand, have you ever have to tree the GBE together? Anyway. My Silvertone is heavy plywood, and I am no tenderfoot, I used to carry railroad ties landscaping. But it’s heavy. And it has a rout just like that one. I am hoping to fit a set of H H and switch gear in a HH Strat pickguard. I want to wait and get a pair of good quality wound ones from Mrs Cathy, I am dumb about the switchgear, but I l go simple. I just loved that White HH Temu you did. I’m hooked! Yall are great!

I heard someone on another channel call that fretboard wood (tech wood) it’s a couple different kinds of wood ground up a mixed with some kind of glue of some kind ,now I’m not 100% sure that’s what that is but it’s supposed to be cheaper than real wood.

@earnestmatlock9694 7 месяцев назад

Sean, aside from ugliest ever headstock shape and nasty frets. Your fretwork and alignment/setup/overhaul of those GREEN frets has turned that guitar into a masterpiece set up guitar, that plays and sounds great. I can't wait to see what your going to do with that awful ugly headstock. Great video Sean and thanks Cathy for all you do for this channel. 73 GOD bless, Earnest K5EWM.

@nychold 7 месяцев назад

I don't blame you for not wanting to fix the headstock on a $129 guitar that's still under both a warranty and an Amazon guarantee, even before you factor in that you don't like the way it looks. There's just no point. (I personally like it, but even I would've sent it back for a broken headstock.)

As I recall, Indio doesn’t quality check their lower cost guitars. They just throw it in an Indio box and move it out. Their upmarket models are *supposed* to be a different story. That said their entire line is attractively priced.

@davidcollin1436 4 месяца назад

My $99 tele was perfectly set up, almost waited 6 months before doing my custom work on it. Now better than any Fender. People drool over it at gigs. I take it to the beach on a motorcycle and don't worry about it like my 69 tele or my 58 gretsch. All day and ride home at night it's still in tune.

@Brykk 7 месяцев назад

What actually denotes a body being “offset”? Ive never understood what that means.

@Zundfolge 7 месяцев назад

I think the technical definition is a guitar body where the "waist" is asymmetrical (so a line through the narrowest part of the body would be basically straight across on a symmetrical one, so asymmetrical would be at an angle). So in practice that's Jazzmasters, Jaguars, Mustangs and Meteoras. But by that definition that would include the Mosrite Venture and some people will put Firebirds and RD's in that category (although I think most people mean the Fender body styles when they say "offset"). Edited to clarify the asymmetrical bit (I didn't word that well before).

I have a Monoprice Indio Strat copy. Wasn't a fan of that headstock either. Sent you a pic of what I did to mine. Check your email. Rock on, brother! 🤘

@Bbbbad724 7 месяцев назад

What is the radius on the neck? I noticed 7.25s are getting rare, 9.5-12 seems more common these days. Even Compound ones. The Silvertone cleans up good but the frets still want to tinge green, any chemical that you recommend? I want to do mine. I wish Almico HHs were more common. Thanks for all your help.

@davidcollin1436 4 месяца назад

Most Indio are 12" radius
