I'm sort of interested, but I was looking for more knees!

Seriously, it is right up my alley but it's out of my reach.

Fine guitar for someone looking for a loaded up D10. Excel guitars are fine machines.

Beautiful Guitar - somebody's gonna be set for life. What's the main difference between Excel and ExStar construction ? I see there's a different fret board also.

I own an Excel ExStar and Mitsuo told me that the difference between the ExStar and the regular Excell is the installation of an aluminum bar running parallel to the strings, which eliminates cabinet drop completely. So far, this is true (and I've had this instrument for 2 years).

You can see the added bar in the fifth photo.

This is true. I believe that on D-10's he always had that extra aluminum bar to hold additional cross shafts. My guitar which is due to be shipped this week is an S-10 and you can see that aluminum bar clearly in this picture of the undercarriage. I think that the Excel model S-10's did not have this additional bar.
