I have something pretty similar - solid body, Paul’s pickups, and a Narrowfield in the middle instead of the single coil you have in the ME V.
It doesn’t have as many switching options, but it’s close in concept, though the neck on mine is 594 scale instead of 25”.
Easily the prettiest-sounding solid body guitar I own! The tones are lush and artculate.
PS - the similarity in color scheme to the Special is pure coincidence. Jack only had one of the Specials in stock, it spec’d right for me, and that was that.
