Alesis Andromeda A6

Thanks very much.  I do agree with you.  It was to fund or trade but 
I think I will save up.  Guitar Center will sellme a nnew one for 
$2150.00

But they told me when the holidays come up there are blowouts and the 
price on the A6 may drop more maybe as low as $1500 new.

So I will take yoru advice :P
