Unexpected NGD (But probably not what you think)

Not sure where to post this...
So here it goes, and if it needs to be moved--I'm okay with that...

I got home Tuesday & discovered I have a late Christmas gift.
It's not expensive, but it is a guitar of sorts...

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.

Too many pictures in one post makes my computer freeze--so:
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.

I think it is cool. I have instruments all over my place. Even if you don't play them, they are better artwork than hanging pictures

I-V-I ... 1-5-1 ... power chords !

Certainly--although I have been playing this, and will keep doing so.

Yes--it's tuned G-D-G
The book suggests that tuning, but it was what I intended to use anyway.
I do use open G on guitar for slide--so it's like taking those three strings only.
