Total cost was $191 delivered.  If I were to get it locally, it was gonna be $240 + tax, at about 10%.  So I saved $70ish.  I think I got a great deal.]]></content:encoded>

Absolutely nothing!  Came in the original box.  The manual had the model and serial number written on the back of it, like someone had recorded that info on there.  I think someone bought it, didn't like or whatever, then returned.  There isn't a scratch on it, really.  <br><br>As for their S&amp;D items, they have a 45 day return policy on them, just like new equipment.  Without that, I wouldn't have chanced it.  But given the price and that if it was a bust I could return it, I told her to go for it.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Thanks everyone.<br><br>Bish:  We recent turned the garage into a computer/music/sewing(wife) room.  I ran satellite out there and everything.  Even put a window unit in for those hot summer days.<br><br>Taso:  That is actually a SX GG1 STD in natural Mahogany.  Yeah, the same SX that's in that monster thread going on currently.  I love it, especially considering it was only $150!  The only thing I would change about it is the frets; they are very jumbo.  The finish is really beautiful.<br><br>Arjen:  Yeah, I read that in the manual.  I have just been playing with the presets so far, not even adding effects.  I'm trying to get a good baseline for each model.  I love the Boutique clean and the AC30 models.  I read before I bought it that some people think that Vox spent more time perfecting those AC15 and AC30 models, since they were their amps.  Not sure about that, but the overdrive on the AC30 is scrumptious.]]></content:encoded>
