Monoprice 610212 Route 66 Electric Guitar
The Monoprice 610212 Route 66 Modern Solid Body Electric Guitar 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.
The 610212 – the latest Route 66 model from Monoprice has had many improvements on the previous models.
For starters, they’ve eliminated the plastic pick guard and the plastic label around the pickup select switch. They have also sharpened the horn below the cutaway giving a cooler edgier look to the guitar body. They have increased the gauge from 0.009 to 0.010 inch on the lower E string and you will now get coated strings for increased durability as well as sonic excellence.
Additionally you will find changes to the orientation of the volume and tone knobs, whereby the entire knob assembly was rotated 90 degrees so that the orientation of the knobs corresponds to the orientation and location of the pickups.
The rest of the guitar remains the same as the Route 66 Vintage model.
All in all, it’s terrific value, and with the improvements, you are going to get a beautifully styled guitar at our rock bottom price, with next day delivery.
