I'm a huge replica fan (Monty, Guitar Clinic and Bobburst) and have always lamented that there seems no estimate of how many replicas Chris made. Could you possibly help there? And in almost 15 years of watching for LP replicas, I haven't seen a single Derrig for sale anywhere, anyhow.
In my opinion, an excellent luthier, using the same woods and construction methods will get incredibly close, and superior in the odd case, to the vintage tone.
