• Solid Ash Body with Maple Neck: Unlike other guitar models using inexpensive woods, Indio Cali DLX Plus guitars feature bodies made of solid ash, which is a superior material for guitar building due to its high resonance and desirable tonal qualities. Ash is considered to be extremely balanced, creating bright but sweet tones with a slightly scooped midrange. Ash is also known for being the material used in some of the most iconic American electric guitars of all time.
• Professionally Set Up In California by Our Master Luthier: In addition to better materials and specs, what really separates Indio Cali DLX Plus guitars from others is the exceptional playability out of the box. Every Indio DLX Plus guitar is domestically QC'd and setup by our Master Luthier in Southern California. This ensures perfect playability out of the box, providing a playing experience that is superior to any guitar costing several times the price.
• Wilkinson Bridge and Pickups: In addition to premium woods and materials, Indio Cali DLX Plus guitars feature upgraded Wilkinson bridges and pickups.
