It's not the pick guard it's self it's just the silver bracket that fixes it to the body. The Gretsch one has a bend in it where as the kit one is flat.
I hope the bar comes down, it just seems to be really high and not sitting on the spring right. I'll try have a look through the forum and seecheers
The reason why the trem arm is like that is because there's no string tension acting on the system, incidentally, guitars with those Bigsby Trems fitted tended to have rather thick gauge strings, like say 52s, not only that, the G-string would be a wound type rather than the plain type as found on Fender Strats, you'll probably find that once the guitar is tuned to pitch the trem-arm will sit closer to the body of the guitar.
