I have not. Even genuine Bigsbys look and operate like medieval torture devices. If you could open a bottle of beer with them at least they would be of some use.
I recommend the Deusenberg Les Trem II. With a roller bridge.

I recommend you NEVER use a roller bridge. I had several on many guitars, and not even one was silent. There's always one roller ending with crappy vibrations/sustain killing. Better use a classic but but good quality ToM, or eventually - I did it on my hollow Swingster, with great benefit - a Gretsch Rocking Bar. Gretsch bridges ( any model in fact ) are the best suited for use with a Bigsby .... probably because most gretsch guitars are native with bigsby
And the intonation is surprisingly accurate

Both are arch top, so if it fits one it would fit the other
Just check that plug interval is ok, as the misfit between imperial and metric can occur
