I picked up an Alvarez RD20SC for $126, a case for $40, picks for $3 and now an amp (as low quality as it may be) for $9. Just need a good deal on a cable.
Just got mine in, I don't have the capability to hook it up right now (at work), but the construction is pretty darn nice. All heavy wood construction, the leather (or pleather) is nice and in good shape. Knobs all feel good, and it doesn't have a removeable front grille (it's held in by the frame of the case and glued on the inside), but the back panel can easily be removed with a handful of screws.
Inside you will find one 6.5" main driver speaker, and two smaller what seems to be a 1-2" speakers above that. Only odd thing I noticed while looking at the inside is the 3-prong power cord doesn't have a ground wired up to the amp, therefore this isn't a grounded device (not sure if other amps are grounded as well?).
So far a fantastic deal at $8.81, will test it out soon and report on that. Wish it was still on sale for $8.81 I would buy more of them!
I also got mine last night, but have not had the chance to play out of it yet (it was late). I was very surprised to see how decent quality it is. Wishing now I would have just ordered 3 of these and got free shipping. I'll post again as soon as I get to try this amp out and let you know how it sounds.

Let us know what you think once you play through it. Mine is coming next week. I'm not expecting the best thing in the world but I'm hoping it is worth it as a practice amp. If anything, I wouldn't mind using it as a speaker for a portable cd player.
So, are there such things as mods for guitar amplifiers? This might be a good one to play with.
I finally got a chance to play through this amp with a Tele and a an Ibenez electric. It is surprisingly loud, but it does distort in the bass end when turned up above 8. I was afraid that I might blow the speakers at full volume. I pretty much expected that though. The mic input has some sort of reverb on it, because when I plugged in through the mic input it sounded almost like digital delay (echoing). All in all, I am really pleased with this amp considering I paid $13.79 shipped for it. When I get a chance I am going solder in a jack for the speaker so I can hook this up to my homemade talkbox and try different cabinets.
