clearly these guitars are the full-on sex. i probably slightly prefer the phantom over the teardrop but both supercool in every way. also super expensive for anything remotely original.
there have been quite a few copies & clones & tributes-to over the years but enthusiasm seems muted for any. there seems to be nothing i have come across that does the squier or epi thing (decent & affordable copy) for the voxes. either top end semi-custom or far-east disposable.
has anyone good or bad words to say about copies they have tried?

EDIT; @Bucket they're pretty unbalanced standing up too.
For a mid range option, these seem interesting

thanks for the suggestion @p90fool i was thinking about an affordable change to my main, so squier or used squier prices. the brandonis look great though & i've had dealings with them for other odd vintage bits & have faith in what they do.
thanks @Moss revelations were ones i was thinking about. i wondered if they might be more playable than the originals even. so much mid-range 60s gear looks great but is fat unplayable necks & no truss rod etc. i will seek out a revelation then.
thanks @Jack_ what is GAG exchange? it sounds potentially useful or erotic. i googled it and was disappointed twice.
thanks @GavRichList in part but not entirely. some spacemen 3 in there. & all those garage & pebbles beat-psych 60s bands who kind of become one idea. vox weirdness (& mad onboard effects) very time & place for late 60s garage. but i'm a massive joy division fan so Ian too.
thank @Ancient_Mariner that's why i was curious about a modern copy. being so-called fairer sex, huge clunky 60s necks not for small hands. & i would probably need hi-gain hums so would be shame to chop up an orignal, not that i could afford it.
