This guitar has been independently examined by Kevin at Stairway to Kevin instrument repair on Denmark Street
Here are his notes on it:
‘A nice example of an early 70's Bigsby equipped Telecaster, truss rod is in good order and the guitar feels nice to play. Neck Date - 3 AUG 71 B. it has undergone a few changes over the years (as detailed below) but is an original Factory Bigsby guitar. A couple of extra notes - the bottom strap button is a newer one, the 1st String bridge saddle are replacements, and the pickguard is an old Fender one, but I can't be sure it is original to this exact guitar. Neck profile is very slightly larger around the back than most from this era and is a pleasant surprise.’
