I think this is a safe expectation to have. Those who expect a nearly exact duplicate of an Olson at a fraction of the price may be expecting too much.
Drew brought 3 guitars to a Twin Cities AGF Get-Together a number of years ago. All were really nice. I have no idea how close his SJ was to an Olson, and for what I play I liked the tone of his OM much better than his "true flattop" SJ.
