Old Wave, Gilchrist, Black, and others do replicate the old Gibson.
I am one of the "others", having made around 200 so far and still going. The very old Gilchrists do replicate the old Gibsons, but he changed the body size quite a few years ago, can't remember when, so what he makes today is quite different and different sounding from the old Gibsons. I also make an oval hole with a smaller body size, and they do have a different sound. All mine have the crosspiece at the 12th fret. They don't replicate the looks exactly, but they do have the Gibson oval hole sound, especially after years of playing.
