Cheers guys. I have definitely seen them around they just don't seem to come up for sale very often in the UK at least. For reference I paid £280 for it which included a good heavy duty hard case, which translates to around $350.
@outrunner you also answered my next question of recommending what to do to improve it, moving the strap button sounds like a sensible move and I was considering perhaps bareknuckle nailbombs or a set of Hetfield EMGs pickup wise. But for now I'll enjoy the guitar as is, plays wonderfully.
