Schecter might be worth a look, too. There are interesting models in that price range like the Nick Johnston and Jack Fowler traditionals.

I've got the same one! How do you like it? Unfortunately mine doesn't get much play because it's so freaking neck heavy. Love the Duncan pickups in it though.

There's a Slurm Zero commercial in the middle of the episode and he's old in it, hence the comment/question. 😅

Isn't Slurms MacKenzie dead?
