I played a variant of this today in a shop and was pretty blown away by it. It had a standard TOM. The Bigsby felt great, and I LOVED the pickups.
If not for it being a little narrower at the nut than I like I’d probably be scheming to unload some stuff right now.
The pickups are just amazing. I love 'em.
They really are great.
Just a wonderfully expressive guitar overall.
Gainier sounds were very complex and dynamic, and the Bigsby was very dialed in and smooth.
It was a similar feeling to playing a really good JM, but with a different and cool sound.

Oh my gosh, you're spot-on! It is very JM-like!!!

Hey, can you post a picture of the back of the headstock?
You think you can't, you wish you could, I know you can, I wish you would. Slip inside this house as you pass by.

Are these Gotoh tuners? The mechanics look similar to the OEM ones on my new MIJ Yamaha acoustic. They're
very nice tuners.
Silly Rabbit, don't you know scooped mids are for kids?

I don't know offhand, but they're great tuners. Lemme Google...
According to
Gretsch, they're Grover® Sta-Tite™ Die-Cast.
