I don't believe Gretsch offered the Bigsby as a stock item that far back, but it would have been a common enough add-on. Doubt it would detract from the value of the guitar, as most would consider it an upgrade. Maybe Dad's still got the original G tailpiece in a box someplace, or if you're lucky, in the case.

That should be a fairly valuable guitar, btw. Similar ones listed on Reverb in that 6-8K range. And to answer the "where' question, it's right there on the sticker. Good 'ol Brooklyn, NY.

Do you play, because that one's definitely a keeper!

I do play right now I use my ESP LTD KH-602 and for heavier stuff I have my Jackson DK5 tuned down

The Gretsch Black Jet with Bigsby shown is from 1955 for sure - - from Gretsch serial numbers id.
