As far as the Bigsby goes, I don't think it is a good match for the floating bridge that is currently on the guitar. If you want a Bigsby, find a guitar originally designed with a Bigsby.
Let us know if you decide to make mods

It looks to have DeArmond "hershey bar" pickups in it. A little research into what values of pots or resistors work well with these pups might help you open the tone up a bit.
Here is a website to get you started:

Sound wise it is very dark with much less top end than my other guitars, a drop in volume too, but it definitely has a character of it's own, very chunky and thick sounding.
The neck is as thick as a baseball bat which suits me fine and after a couple of hours of acquainting myself with it (unable to resist playing along to a couple of Tom Waits tracks in the process) I have decided it is a great little guitar, a little high in the action but great.
I know it is probably a no no but I can't help wondering what it would sound like with a bigsby on it.
