So I picked up my VM5 a week and a half ago, then immediately had to go away for a week so had no chance to play it!
It's a 2004 model in natural ash and a pau ferro fingerboard.
It plays nicely (following a quick tweak to the truss rod) and the pickups and preamp sound awesome.
Waiting on some new strings and hope to do a final setup this week.
Definitely a step up from my Cort which I might have to sell now..
Anyway, here's a couple of pics:
