I haven't see any recent ones, but I wasn't even into relics till I met Phil's Fiesta Red Bravewood.

I had great weekend heading down to his little workshop about decade ago, think as some mentioned people weren’t making such a big deal about things back then , was a lovely bloke properly into it, without all the marketing BS you see these days. Reckon he could have made more money working in Aldi given how much effort he put into it and how few he made. Still love mine

He kept a low profile to avoid the FMIC legal department.

They're prob not bothered about five or six guitars a year and I'd guess he had no idea the fmic existed.

I’ve had a couple, and they were tremendous, hand made guitars with excellent build quality, vintage accuracy and overall aesthetic vibe, and value wise for a legitimately hand built, low production build product they’re a bargain IMO!

For those comparing to ‘master built’ Fender, these are the literal definition, from raw wood to final assembly by one bloke, doing each element- no one at Fender MB is selecting raw lumber, hand threading steel rods, carving necks etc ‘farm to table’, which I definitely appreciate.
