Fender FSR 72 Tele Custom

Anybody had a chance to play one of these models with the bigsby? They've intrigued me for a while now but I've never seen any about. Is the build quality decent? How does the wide range humbucker sound? Any other input would be greatly appreciated.

I’ll assume from this that you haven’t played one of the standard ones without a bigsby. If you have then this is exactly the same but with that added and due to this then becomes a pretty heavy guitar (I don’t know of this is of concern to you or not).
that being said in its standard form these guitars are pretty good. Folk will tell you they sound guitar muddy, I’ve never found this. People will also tell you that they don’t sound like the originals which should be a given. I’ve always preferred these WRHB’s (the pickups on the custom) to standard humbucker anyway. Some will also complain about the glossy neck but this of course is a matter of preferences,
