You're not going to like this ... apparently nobody makes replicas anymore.

To make vintage accurate copies takes a special machine that few shops have.
It's possible to redesign something easier to manufacture, but everyone wants the original.

The second issue is that shops usually have a large minimum order, and someone has to step up to pay that and sell them.
Fold in the risk of being sent a nasty letter by Fender lawyers for patent infringement.

Or, so I have been told.
