I’d love to have a go on that
Does it need a pickguard? It looks pretty good already, though it'd probably also look pretty good with a Cabronita-style guard. Obviously if you can be bothered to cut a bunch, that'll be the thing. Seeing the real thing next to it will usually tell you instantly whether it works or not...
Oh so the newer ones don't have the same magnets? I was sort of looking at your build a bit horrified at how much bother you had fitting the pickups... I kind of suspect (having never tried them!) that I'd like Dynasonics, but they seem a bit of a pain to fit to a guitar that's not already built for them.
Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

I'm quite envious of that guitar as well. I've always had the idea that I don't like Fenders (I've always played more Gibsonesque designs, and can't stand strats) but I don't think I've ever played a Telecaster and that one with those pickups and the Bigsby is definitely calling me over to "the other side".

I think I may need to do some demos

As you may have gathered ... I love these, and for playing 'Americana' I think you have to go some to beat them. They actually sound great with a fuzz for White Stripes kinda stuff too!

A job left to do is to fit a longer trem spring ... the Bigsby came with a 3/4" and the arm is WAY too low with 9.5 D'addarios. Spring ordered ...
In the meantime it looks like after a longish period of 'resting' as they say in the theatre business ... I may have started a band again ... indirectly through this guitar :-)
