I don't think the McKay is making them now but I could be wrong

I do, actually. However, I'm big fan of the ES-225 and ES-175 shape and I love what they've done with the overall design, and (to me) the headstock sits better with the bulkier-bodied guitars. I'm going to have to investigate! Damn. Damn. Damn.
EDIT: Just looked at some old photos and it's not the one I thought it was.
The options are to carve the plates from solid wood. Buy some pressed ones in from a very limited number of suppliers, or invest in making them yourself.
Although as a 4th option I do have a pair of vintage USA made gretsch plates that never got made into a guitar. One day I will do something with them
