Never heard of Koll guitars but on an instrument of this value I wouldn’t expect it to be spec’d with a licensed Bigsby. Smacks of cost cutting not boutique builder.

Koll Jnr doesn't come with a Bigsby, especially not a gold one when all the other metal isn't gold.

Looks like that was added afterwards, by an idiot.

Ah now that would make sense.

Yup.
Koll does some crazy high end stuff.
Like the RE:



It is headless.
I'm pretty confident they'd never put a licensed Bigsby on one of their guitars, which usually start about $3300 USD and go up rapidly from there for anything posh.

Good point. Looks like they plugged and redrilled a wraparound for that bridge.

That’s also a PBG Koll, also known as a team built Baker.

Cheaping out on the Bigsby isn’t totally unheard of on a supposedly “boutique” instrument...

It’s certainly difficult to see where they’d put a Bigsby on that.
