I've been keeping a sly-eye out for one of these for years:

I like that one, too, the Retro-H Deluxe. It comes with a roller bridge and fantastic pair of mini hums which sound so nice. I had one for a while for a couple of years. You should set up an alert for those. I used to find them for quite cheap on Reverb and eBay. I got my red one for $200 with a nice soft case, too.
I hate the Bigsby tailpiece for maintenance reasons (though I love their sound) so I prefer the Bangles signature which has a full tailpiece instead. There's also the regular Retro-H with the female symbol on the 12th fret which is cool, but it seems a little empty cosmetically, so I prefer the Bangles signature of the various Retro-H shaped mini hum guitars.
If you want to know what the Retro-H Deluxe can sound like in a band setting, I recorded a couple of songs with it on my band's album. Both these tracks use the Retro-H for the lead (normally I use my MG73). I know a band mix is kind of the worst way to hear a guitar, but I think it still has some of the sweet stock character, plus it has the unmistakable Bigsby sound in a couple places.
But back to my bandmate's guitar, what I've never seen in any other Daisy Rock is the combination of Tune-O-Matic, Retro-H semi-hollow body (adaptation of the Stardust Elite body), full-sized humbuckers, and that sweet, sweet, emerald sparkle finish. I absolutely love that one. When I found that guitar for her five years back, I knew it was perfect. Never seen any like it since.

I think that was the moment I realized that guitar line sounded like a cat.
