Cigar Box Guitar

I bought a group of ten cigar boxes sight unseen on Amazon to make 3 string guitars for my wife. This is one of them. I cut the odd shaped sound hole and made the neck on my Primo. I kept the router small as suggested so the neck had to be fixtured and moved to cut. The 23" scale fret board was cut in one pass. It is actually a fretless slide guitar and the fret lines and markings are only for reference. The pickup is hand wound by a guy in New Hampshire and the parts sourced from a small company there. Sounds pretty good for what it is

I’d have to get the wife do one. I have absolutely no idea how to play.
