This amplifier is less than 6 months old (I bought it brand new from guitar center shipped to me about 3-4 months ago). I have the original box, owner's manual, everything that came with it in the original packaging. It is a great amplifier if you like the specific sound, however I have discovered that is just not for me and I can't stand playing it. I kind of knew that after I bought it, so I have babied it and it has never left my bedroom.
