Yes,
I've sen and played the Tels with Bigsby style tremole as well. A nice
guitar. Dille from "The O' Hara's" (Belgian instro Surf-Mariachi band/
very worth to check their music) plays one too. The one I saw and played
in a shop once was a U.S. made tele from customshop with the Bigsby
inslated. It worked fine, sounded really good (I like the twangy tele
sound) and should be the least difficult to mounth on the Bronco I
guess.
The tremolo units used on Mosrite are very simelar to the Bigsby style
tremolo.
They operate very smooth (IMHO)

-Bill,
Preston(rhythm guitarist) for the Eliminators has a Tele with a Bigsby
style tremelo on it. It doesn't look half bad. And you
don't have to worry about choppin up the body.
good luck,
Jeff(bigtikidude)
