nope - this thing is brand spankin new... I think it's made from pressboard tho (not sure if that affects the sound)

I do agree with you.. I love the sounds I can get but I'm not happy that I've gotta tighten the freakin thing up each time I play.. It's not like I play loudly either.. I'm pretty careful with it too... maybe I just got a lemon.. I dunno...

thanks for the feedback tho!
