Monterey is an Australian brand of entry-level fretted instruments distributed by Melbourne-based CMI Music & Audio. The range targets beginners, students, and school music programs, emphasising affordability and playability rather than professional-grade specifications.

The catalogue spans acoustic and acoustic/electric guitars, dreadnought and folk-sized steel-strings, classical guitars, electric guitars and basses, resonator guitars, banjos, mandolins, soprano and concert ukuleles, small practice amplifiers, and beginner starter packs bundled with tuners, bags, and accessories. Bodies and necks are commonly built from agathis (Australian kauri) with rosewood fingerboards, and ukulele lines such as the MU-175 soprano are offered in a variety of coloured finishes aimed at younger players. Electric models include V-style and Strat-style shapes with standard humbucker or single-coil configurations.

Monterey instruments are sold through Australian music retailers and online marketplaces rather than through a standalone brand storefront, and the line is positioned alongside other CMI-distributed educational and consumer brands.

Monterey has 6 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Solid Body Electric Guitars, Classical & Nylon-String Guitars, and Steel-string Acoustic Guitars.
