Not a very common guitar, I can't imagine 1. you'll be able to find one to try out... 2. you'll be able to afford it even if you did.
As far as a knock version... Look into the First Act guitars or something. Not a lot of copies are made of obscure guitars like those because they're not very easy to mass market... Since they appeal to a very niche group of buyers... That's why Strat and Les Paul knock offs are most common... Do some internet searching... the internet is a marvelous thing.
