    The EX5! Exciting. I took a couple days off work after the holiday and I'm looking forward to spending time on this.

    Hi Topscratch and welcome to the GAS factory. Currently building EX-5 and love the way it is coming together. The only thing to consider is if you want a hard case as it is too big for most standard cases. Being in USA there are more options available for you as not all ship overseas. Check out Amazon as they have a Dean hard case that I would have bought but ended up having to buy a gig bag instead. Keen to see how yours comes together.
