Nothing special. Taken the cheap ES335 style guitar and had the guts replaced with Ibanez bits (humbuckers/pots). Gave it a good play today and it's just perfect, for me.

Is that a 2 1/4” neck pocket on those?
I’ve been “shopping” around for an F1000 or similar and will probably end up ordering a neck from MM or Warmoth.

No; the ESP manufactured Kramer bodies are about as snug of a 2 3/16” Fender Standard Neck Pocket as you could hope for. Fits Warmoth perfectly. The older USA Kramer Bodies tend to be closer to 2 1/4”.
