Review: Cheap Quality. Great Sound! - I picked this up because my wife wanted to learn how to play the 3-string guitar. I was hesitant at first because it looked cheap in the pictures. The guitar arrived and we unboxed it. It is a cheaply made guitar. The body is thick cardboard, the neck is a solid hardwood, the strings are good and real, it has a cheap $1 piezo pickup. With all that being said, this guitar is actually great! The sound is really good! The tuning is easy, the slide is actually glass. We are very impressed! At worse if the body gets damaged in any way do not throw this item out. The way they designed this guitar makes it a perfect parts guitar. Just go to a cigar shop and buy a cigar box for $3. Use a basic small wood saw and a couple other tools, Watch a YouTube and easily make a solid wood cigar box guitar. I assure you that with very little experience you can use this guitars neck and strings to make a new CBG. You’ll just need to buy a new Piezo pickup, which is sold here on desertcart for CHEAP. You can even use a metal cookie tin, lunchbox, etc to convert this into a new guitar. Out of all honesty this is a very good guitar. I give it 5-Stars because of the following. 1) The price is low, which makes it perfect for people on a budget. 2) The quality is low, but again of the body breaks you can easily rebuild it better. 3) The sound is good. 4) Perfect for any beginners that are wanting to learn the 3-String Guitar. 5) Has a great look that sets the owner apart from other cheap made guitars.
Review: Incredibly fun slide guitar and a steal at this price - I haven't been able to put this thing down since I bought it. So much fun, great sound, a steal at this price. What This ISNT: A three stringed version of a 6 string fretted guitar What This IS: This is much more like a lap slide guitar that you can hold up tucked under your strumming elbow like a ukulele. The strings are tuned GDG, so you can one-finger bar cords up and down the neck. The strings are the three middle wrapped strings of an acoustic 6 string guitar pack (not the low E, but the three next ones up. They are light guage, its explained in the book as well. The fret markers are decals because this is meant to be played fretless, with a slide only The action is very high, which makes it forgiving when learning to use a slide. (If you WANT to fret chords or notes, I imagine all you would need to do is to replace the nut and bridge bolts with smaller diameter bolts until you get the action you want, the bolts just lay across the instrument and held in place by string tension - makes it easy to adjust the intonation) The neck is actually finished very nicely, with sanded edges and a clear poly coat; but it is still a square 1x2 board instead of a rounded neck ------because when you play with a slide, you press very lightly on the strings, as opposed to gripping the neck firmly to fret awkward chord shapes The only thing you have to "put together" are to put the little brass string ferrules in place at the bottom, string it up, put the floating nut and bridge in the clearly marked places (they are held in place by string tension), tune it up, grab the included slide and start shredding the blues. There are very complete and detailed instructions explaining all of this. The instruction book and CD could be sold for at least $15 by themselves as an intro to blues slide playing and guitar use. This guitar comes basically finished. The neck is sanded and finished with a clear coat. It is fretless, but there are fretmarker decals under the clear poly coat, so they wont ever wear off. The tuning pegs are attached, the through-neck is attached to the cardboard body, the body is already cut with F-holes and it actually sounds great acoustically. However.. IT IS ALREADY SETUP WITH AN ELECTRIC PICKUP! Its a piezo electric pickup (meaning it will acoustically pick up every bump and scrape against any part of the instrument, almost like a microphone) and there is no volume knob, which is a little annoying ... but at this price point, you can take it out of the box and plug it straight into a practice amp or headphone amp and play around with crunchy distortion, no soldering needed, no retrofitting, it is god to go out of the box. (If you want to use a practice amp, id recommend starting out the volume low and pointing the amp away from the guitar or stand back to avoid feedback.) Again, it is a cheap pickup, but having it already installed is a huge value. Speaking of box, the body is sort of an imitation cigar box. Its made of that same compressed cardboard of a cigar box (think like 2-3 layers of dense jigsaw puzzle piece cardboard) with a cigar box printed decal stuck/laminated on top. It is actually surprisingly sturdy, and the large size combined with the f-holes (sound holes) gives it a really nice volume, projection, and tone. My girlfriend is amazed at the sound I can get out of it acoustically, its great for playing in small rooms acoustically. The slide is very wide, but very thin walled, and medium length. Functionally, this makes it very light and easy to use for little hands, but will fit even the biggest finger. The trick with the slide is to put it on your ring finger and hold it between middle finger and pinky, so it doesn't matter that the slide hole diameter is large. Again, instructions are in the booklet. There are enough licks in the booklet and cd to get you started playing and improvising leads for basic 12 bar blues and blues-rock. After that I recommend checking out some Justin Johnson videos on YouTube. If I could give this thing 10 stars, I would. It's probably worth more like $60 at LEAST. You can buy a soprano uke for less, but the setup and intonation will be crap compared to this one. Only complaints is that where the neck meets the back of the body, its a little loose and makes a "stick/unstick" glue-tape sound that the pickup amplifies when I plug it in. Only a problem if I stand and hold it tucked against my body with my strumming elbow like a uke since it puts a little pressure right there, not a problem if I play sitting down with the guitar in my lap.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: The name "electric blues box" implies that you can plug this into an amp , I see nothing of this in the description.  So is it amp ready and what size**
A: Yes, indeedy, it is "amp ready". There's a piezo pickup inside and a jack on the side of the box. I plug it in all the time.

**Q: This item (electric blues box) listed as a kit, but gives no list of what is included. strings? pick-up? hardware?**
A: It's pretty much complete. Already assembled are the box, neck, pickups, electronics. You basically just put the strings on which involves putting on (no gluing or nailing or screwing) the bolts for the bridge and the nut then tightening up the strings. Couldn't be easier.

**Q: does a glass or brass slide come with this box guitar?**
A: It came with a glass slide.  My nephew loved this guitar.

**Q: can it play acoustically as well as electric or is it electric only with no acoustic properties**
A: You can definitely play acoustically with it.  I recommend buying a mini amp for it that runs on batteries they are very cheap.  Fender and danelectro makes great mini amps.
