1) Is there a special term for the kind of bridge as seen on this guitar, for example? It's obviously not a Bigsby bridge, but it's clearly distinct from the fixed bridges one would see on, say, a Les Paul.

2) Let's say you don't use the Bigsby vibrato. Let's say you've even taken off the vibrato arm itself, leaving the rest of the Bigsby bridge in place. Is there any tonal difference between that kind of setup and the bridge pictured above?
