Sounds like an EON by JBL. The weight and wattage is right - as well as the construction. These speakers are almost weather proof. Theme parks use them where rain may be possible.
The heavy plastic housing contains a 15 inch speaker and a horn above.
One of these can make a fine guitar amp.

One day a housework challenged husband decided to wash his sweatshirt. Seconds after he stepped into the laundry room, he
shouted, "What setting do I use on the washing machine?"
"It depends."his wife replied. "What does it say on your shirt?"
He yelled back, "New Orleans Saints."

Martin or D'Addario light gauge on an Applause Ovation copy.
Not very loud. Doesn't fit my portly body shape.
I like the neck. It holds a tune well. Pretty sound.

All posts above nailed it. If you love a song - maybe obsess over the song for a while, you need to do some research. You need three things:
1. Lyrics
2. Chords jotted in red pen over the syllable of the lyric where you strum along
3. Access to your favorite video arrangement of that song so you can play along and see how it's done.

If you can do a good job on a tune you really like, it's gotta be fun.

Everybody who posted in this thread to now is right down on it.
Music, like many other fine things in life is better when shared.

Teach her to back up very slowly and not hesitate to back off and take another run at it. My daughter got to putt around in an abandoned airport. The runways were still smooth. Fun!

I played with my own six night a week bar band for 24 years ending in 1981 when I got a full time job as a mail carrier.
Things were so different back then. Most venues today can't afford a four or five piece band.                                                                                         My wife worked as a union printer at a big city newspaper. Our earnings were close as regards gross pay but my expenses far outstripped hers. If she hadn't been employed, I couldn't have supported us on my pay alone.

Some songs call for a chop rhythm where it is desirable for all strings to start and stop vibrating together. Covered (barre) chords are preferable.
Many songs sound best when as many as possible strings are allowed to ring out open and sustain the sound for as long as possible - a desirable situation for open chords.

The best bar band I ever played with was not composed of great players.
They were great people. Even though I had worked with hot lick artists on most instruments, they lacked the spirit of these mostly ordinary guys. We had so much fun onstage, the crowd got caught up too.
This band could rise to the occasion, play their very best to a crowd of two, inspire each other to play well beyond their assumed limitations when a great showing was needed, lend each other money and lie for each other in court. These guys knew thousands of jokes, drank moderately and would try any tune requested.
We played a roadhouse gig together for two years long ago. We still keep in touch.
