Just thought I'd pass this along. No affiliation with these guys.
They have original NOS Bigsby catalogs at www.gretschgear.com
They also have some prototypes of the bigsby standard guitar.

Those are the standard guitars that were made in Japan a few years ago. I believe they were to make 100, but they did not make that many. I know that because they had a limited run of pickups and I have a pair of them.

These are the guitars that Art _____ from the Wings shop in the Bay Area (California) have been selling in Vintage Guitar ads for several years.

Hmmm... Seems a little shady to call it a "Bigsby Prototype Guitar - Limited Edition Prototype" and "Extremely Rare!" if they are standard run guitars.
Either way, they are pretty darn cool looking.
