Heritage H-535 maybe worth a look? Made in the Kalamazoo Gibson factory on the original machinery.
Is it not mostly the original machinery? I watched a video about making 335s (can't remember where it is to link to sadly) and the man from Gibson said that when they moved they took the veneer press for the front / back with them to Nashville.
Don’t think they’re really any cheaper though.
They're more expensive than Gibsons but because the brand isn't as well known they depreciate quicker meaning that you can pick them up cheap second hand (but it on reverb apparently).
I find it quite a dangerous website to visit what with the potential to redline your credit card. Also I suspect that my wife would rather catch me watching actual porn rather than lusting over guitar pron on reverb. Neither would be an ideal situation though.
