## Description

So what do you do if you have a successful product launch, like we've had with our Route 66 Vintage Solid Body Guitars? Well, if you're Monoprice you listen to customer feedback, make improvements, and release a new version that addresses those concerns. Enter the new Route 66 Modern Solid Body Electric Guitar from Monoprice! The most obvious change is that we've eliminated the plastic pick guard and the plastic label around the pickup select switch. This allows you to see all of the beautiful finish of your choice, without being obscured by the plastic bits. One of the standard complaints about the Vintage version was the quality of the strings. Not only have we increased the gauge from 0.009 to 0.010 inch on the high E string. Finally, we adjusted the orientation of the volume and tone knobs. The entire knob assembly was rotated 90 Degree counterclockwise so that the orientation of the knobs corresponds to the orientation and location of the pickups. So the neck pickup, which is on your left when wearing the guitar, is controlled by the leftmost knobs, while the bridge pickup (on the right) is controlled by the rightmost knobs. The rest of the guitar remains the same as the Route 66 Vintage model. It is a full-sized, 22-fret guitar with a basswood archtop single-cutaway body, a bolt-on maple neck, a rosewood fingerboard, and chrome machine heads/tuning pegs. It uses two dual-coil humbuckers, which produce the distinctive sound used in southern rock, heavy metal, electric blues, reggae, and classic hard rock. A three-position switch on the body above the fingerboard allows you to easily select between the bridge and neck pups, or both together. Before it gets shipped to you, each Monoprice guitar undergoes a setup, tuning, and inspection process by Master Luthier Roger Gresco here in Southern California. Additionally, it comes with everything you need to get started, including strings, a heavy-duty zippered black gig bag with shoulder strap, and a truss-rod wrench.

Review: Not a gibson, but a good guitar for the price. - Looks great and plays ok. Banding is near perfect. Needs neck adjusting and the pickups are low end, but what do you expect from a guitar priced this low? For someone who can't afford a gibson and wasn't impressed with the epiphone clones (I wasn't), it's a good start that is very upgradeable. A pair of higher output zebra humbuckers can be found on ebay or desertcart for as little as $30 and no reasonable shop would charge you more than $50 to set this baby up.
Review: Fantastic Guitar - I absolutely love this guitar! It sounds great, the fret board is beautiful/ easy to move up and down, looks great, and it came in perfect condition! I would definitely buy another especially for the price. I highly recommend it to anyone. The only problem I have with it is a fret buzz but that's nothing.
