I played a variant of this today in a shop and was pretty blown away by it. It had a standard TOM. The Bigsby felt great, and I LOVED the pickups.
If not for it being a little narrower at the nut than I like I’d probably be scheming to unload some stuff right now.
The pickups are just amazing. I love 'em.
They really are great.
Just a wonderfully expressive guitar overall.
Gainier sounds were very complex and dynamic, and the Bigsby was very dialed in and smooth.
It was a similar feeling to playing a really good JM, but with a different and cool sound.

Oh my gosh, you're spot-on! It is very JM-like!!!

Are these Gotoh tuners? The mechanics look similar to the OEM ones on my new MIJ Yamaha acoustic. They're
very nice tuners.

I don't know offhand, but they're great tuners. Lemme Google...
According to
Gretsch, they're Grover® Sta-Tite™ Die-Cast.
