Might also be of interest to our resident Bridge enthusiast Larry Mal since it's made in his home city St Louis and proudly says so in the post tops.

I was just noticing that! Seems to me that I had heard about that a little while ago. Looks like a nice bridge!
Sadly, if I owned a Gretsch of any quality, I have already decided on a Tru-Arc based on my research, but that other bridge might be worth a deeper look.

Well done! Happy birthday to you! I can also vouch for the quality of the Compton bridge as replacement for the stock bridge. You’ve got some great options if you like to tinker. I know I do!

I am blown away by it still...what a cool guitar...it still does the overtones behind the bridge like a Jazzmaster or Jaguar, but due to the chambered construction (I think 85% of it is hollow), they are way louder.
Very expressive and chimey sounds!
A couple more pics:
