Talk to Bruce at Mission Amps for any tweed kit. 5E3s are really cool. They are very simple and they sound great. Go for it. It wont be the last one you build and everyone needs to own a 5E3.

After you are done with that do a 5F4/5E5/5E7, or something with a tone stack, like an 18watt Marshall TMB. Move on to something with quad EL84s and/or an EF86 preamp, like an old Vox or a Matchless clone. Build something with a Presence or High Cut control. All of the old schematics and board layouts are online for the clones. Build a few different flavored amps and get a feel for what you like. Design your own from there. There are good sources for quality transformers, chassis, tubes and turret boards out there. Fun stuff!
