Has any one ever seen an original 1957, or 58 Gold Top with a factory Bigsby AND factory stop holes with the pearl dots?
I never have, but that doesn't mean they don't exsist.

All the ones I have seen with factory Bigsby's were minus stud holes, Dean.

I worked on one not too long ago, it had the pearl buttons in the stud holes and the owner's son(who brought it in for a set up) said that it was delivered that way.

If I remember correctly there was one in Arlington last fall with the pearl dots. I forget the name of the dealer - same one that had a nice Custom bought by a forum member, and the poorly done conversion with the mis-placed pickups.

Mike's Music in Cincinnati. He did indeed have such a Goldtop in Arlington
