The Tele (Retro Classic) in sunburst is my #1, dead stock, no lie. Needed to round the frets and do a proper setup, but I'm a few years in and it remains in the place of honor. If you can care for your own guitar, this is the best $80 you can spend.
Now, I also bought this Cali model. Not as impressed by the pickups and the neck just felt a little deep for my taste, but we're diving into nitpicking here. Tapped down a high fret, rounded frets, setup...buy some quality Chinese pickups and you're in for like $120 total? Better yet, mine had a swimming pool route so buy a new pickguard and get weird. P90 Neck, 59 Bridge?
I own an Indio bass, whatever the cheapest one is that sometimes pops up on here for around this price and love it. I also own one of their Les Paul clones and it is very well built, though a little heavier than I prefer. If I were a beginner or intermediate player coming back from some time away from guitar looking for a decent instrument I'd highly suggest the retro model which is their Tele clone. Tele necks are a little slimmer and once I switched from primarily playing Strat style guitars over to the Tele style I pretty much hate playing strats now. Fun instruments and the monoprice stuff is very well built for the money.
Edit: They also sell some battery powered headphone amplifiers if you live somewhere that you can't always use an Amp. Their other sound equipment and accessories have held up well for me too including cables, keyboard stands, guitar stands, etc. Don't own any of their actual amps but I assume they're also fine.

Bought a Monoprice bass guitar and it is solid. Heavier than I would like but otherwise - I think just as good as others in the price range they compete (0-500$).
Highly recommend if you're only thinking of playing guitar, not too serious about it. or buying a Christmas gift for someone. It looks nice but won't hurt anyones feelings if it gets abandoned at this price.

Anyway, buy one and play the hell out of it.
When you say Tele retro classic do you mean this one in OP? Could not find another model that you mention Tele..
