Has anyone heard of Roxy guitars? I haven't, but for $75.00 I figured I couldn't go wrong. I didn't even plug it in, just gave the guy the cash. The Facebook ad showed the back with two battery compartments, so I knew it had an 18V preamp. The knobs are stacked volume/tone, neck to bridge fader, and three band EQ for active mode. I checked the body cavity and neck pocket. No marking other than the partial label on the back of the neck. That looks like it would have been made in 2008. Plays and sound great! It feels like a solid mid range instrument. The only thing I found that I'd change is the passive/active switch doesn't disconnect the batteries. I killed two new 9Vs by leaving it plugged in in passive mode.
