Hi Peter
I don't know whether what I have is the same, but it's an unmarked Bigsby style which I bought and midified a Telecaster with about 5 years ago, I also had a factory fit Bigsby Telecaster which after a couple of years I got rid of, it was very nice but I prefered my "bitsa".
My Bigsby copy has shown no signs of wear and it has more sideways movement than the real thing, i.e. you can hold on to it and still play the low E so if you're used to a Strat trem it feels similar.
cheers
Geoff
