I bought the older version of this with the big square inlays a little over a year ago for $219. It became my #1 instantly.
I just bought this one to have a backup and spread the fret wear to a second guitar. They are that good.

I like the Fender Strats and the Floyds better for hard rock dive bombing, but the Bigsby (mine is a B70) feels different. More subtle, maybe?
Eventually I'll buy the very common soft spring mod for the Bigsby, but I already like the firm stock spring.
The real solution is obvious. Buy two Gretsch guitars. One with a Bigsby, one without. And then maybe a third with a Bigsby to mod with a soft spring. At these prices, that's actually pretty affordable.
I got one of the burnt orchid finish 2622s from PAS a few weeks ago for $299, and other than a couple of slightly rough fret ends, it was near flawless. The BT-3s pickups in these are also an improvement over the previous versions. I bought it to satisfy my semi-hollow GAS, and was going to swap out the pickups, but I may leave it as-is.
