Yeah, definitely a cool guitar.  I know the Monoprice guitars I have are great build in terms of body and neck, but the electronics and hardware are crap.  So I get what I want to put on them and then have a really nice guitar out of the deal.  I get a really nice guitar (like a Fender in the $400-600 range) for half or a third of the price depending on what I put on it.  I think the other two Monoprice Telecaster clones I have are out of Indonesia, but not 100% certain.  Will probably receive the swamp ash tele from Monoprice on Friday or Saturday of this upcoming weekend, so hopefully I can confirm one way or the other.


Edit/Update:  Ok, the two Tele's I currently have are both out of China.  Found the stickers I took off when I bought them.  (I seem to be obsessive about saving documentation.)  So my bet is the swamp ash will probably also be Chinese.

Have a great week, all.
