used prices are sky high on everything
Peavey, Cort, Squire, Yamaha if any of them still have new guitars that cheap. Plan on upgrading tuners and maybe pickups in a couple years.
I have one in my Kramer, it's definitely from the JB family - punchy but not as much chug as the custom family pickups. Lasse Lammert once said it's the closest thing to a passive substitute for an EMG 81.
it's got a bit of a notched mid that sounds best in mahogany
also, I'm probably crazy...
