I got home the other day & discover I have a late Christmas gift.
It's not expensive, but it is a guitar of sorts...
Image
It's got a wood neck--and now I have a neckthrough guitar. (& a fretless guitar & a second one with f-holes & another hollowbody)
The body is a fake cigarbox made of a sturdy cardboard & a stronger top--the body is actually covered in a sticker to look like woodgrain.

Due to my computer not liking multiple picture posts--here's more...
It does require some assembly--so I've done that as well.
You add on a bolt for the nut & one for the bridge.
I might try a smaller bolt for the nut--while it is for slide--it is a bit high.
It comes with a CD & book on how to play it & other tips.
The strings also are shipped off--so they ned to be put on. The headstock is a little crowded so that wasn't a ton of fun.
But I like the tuner at the top.
It also comes with a glass slide.

And here is it assembled...

So--what's it like?
Well it's simple to play.

I've played better cigarbox guitars--but they also cost a lot more than this would have (I don't know what the giver paid for it--as it was on sale, but it has to be a lot less than the ones I'm referring to.)

But it works--you can play it acoustically or amplified-it has some sort of piezo or similar thing in it.

So bottomline?
It's fun--it's a cool gift.
And it's a guitar as well.

That is really cool.Thanks, for sharing. Many posts here talk about what is and what is not collectable. Time will tell if this special gift of yours will be one of those rarities should you take care of it; otherwise, (more likely) it looks like a fun present for sure.

I have no illusions it will ever be collectible, but I plan to take care of it--it's fun for sure.
