Looked this morning. Available on the Doozy website. Probably about $400 landed. Maybe sometime later. Will get used to it first but a useable wobble stick is pretty much the only thing missing from my guitar pallete now.
If you buy the Doozy trem that looks like a Bigsby, they also make an adaptor plate. So you don't have to drill holes in the guitar, and you can revert back to a fixed bridge if you don't like it. Plus it would suit the Gretschy vibe better I think.

No you’re absolutely bloody right ... sometimes it isn’t the one you want.

I would never do anything irreversible to it. The trem fitted to some of these Rebounds looks to attach to the stop tail lugs but I haven’t looked too closely yet.
Thanks for the tip though.

The lack of wobble stick might be part of its magic.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

‘Sometimes it’s not the one you want’ has a peculiar ring to it.

Slowy I m renowned for my fine taste... That tomato red blended into that Mediterranean Orange is pure delight and not worthy of being called a clown burst. It is best described as a romantic sunset burst. Lovely guitar!

Agreed. It's not really clownburst in the Gibson sense; deeper and more intense. Duesey call it Fireburst. Truth is, it could have slashed Hello Kitty logos and blood splatters for a finish and it'd still be a great guitar.
