        PS. anyone know what that thing is on the upper bout of her guitar?

    That's a capo.  It's an easy way to change the key of a song (without knowing music theory).  You put it on a fret (across all strings) and pretend that is your nut then play your chords.  It raises the pitch up.  They come in all different styles from screw on's to clamp on's.  Kinda nice to play around with.

I know what a capo is... there's one in use on the neck... smile

I'm asking about the brown object attached to the front surface of the upper bout of the guitar just above the soundhole...




My guess is that little box affixed to body of her guitar is the pick-up for amplification.  Something similar to this.....   http://www.boutiquemusicinc.com/e-store … PLEBAR.gif
