My next GS was a Gypsy semi that was shit. The grass ain’t always greener.
The new guys certainly seem to know what they are doing.
Similarly with JJ guitars. What happened to them? They got raved about back in the day also, but again, another fly by night type of thing it seems.
That said, it's gotta be preposterously difficult to come to the market and upset the Status Quo with guitars. Most of the established makers have been around for a long time, and its a very saturated marketplace.
Not only that, people aspire to play "branded" guitars a lot of the time. Like, if I'm a massive Steve Vai nut, I'm gonna want an Ibanez. Not something that is similar, even though it may be a better all round guitar.
That said, I bought my Suhr Classic Pro because it was better than any Custom Shop Fender I have owned or played. Even very recently. But then Suhr aren't exactly an unknown.
I just remember them being promoted quite heavily in Guitarist magazine around about the same time as JJ guitars etc.
Certainly no QC issues with this one: while I know little of PRS SEs and like beasties, these seem well worth the money. Even more surprising that they’re made in Blighty: would expect labour costs to be prohibitive.
Pictures! (Excuse the scruffy office environment where I must sell my surplus labour)

Not cray cray prices tbh either.
Picked mine up for £280 with a Hardcase last year.
I have seen one of the new ones and they are miles better
