Wisdom, this is. I have a Mexican Strat in a beautiful deep metallic purple, and I love it

Have the gretsch been refinished with replacement parts?

No, It’s the original finish & binding. The tuners have been replaced, the bridge is a Compton (but I have a repro space control when I find it). I’m 50/50 on the Bigsby but everything else is original, even the pots,

A good way to tell if it’s an old bigsby is if the holes go right through the bar from where the string pins are mounted?
Cant tell from the photo

Thanks for that. The holes don’t go though but I know that nothing has been changed on the guitar since the early 70’s so possibly an early replacement?
