Genuine Vintage details vs Repros

Anybody here help me with this or have a view ??


I have looked at over 20 companies offereing relics and "vintage repros" and still cannot find one who gets the visual details correct ... are there any ?

The details they usually get wrong are -

rosewood/maple join at headstock usually straight when on a slab it should be round (most of these companies make the same errors because I think they all use "off the shelf" licensed necks probably from the same place)

sometimes the headstock is not exactly the right shape

truss rod access hole position wrong
volume and tone knobs wrong size lettering

Even the Custom Shop Time machine etc guitars have the knobs wrong

Anyone point me in the direction of someone who already does them right ... or why they all seem wrong - it can't cost anymore to get it right can it ?

I got dollars buring a hole in my pocket !!
