Peter Stroud guitar bridge question

I've seen Peter Stroud on several of Sheryl Crow's videos and on some of the songs where he plays slide, he plays a guitar that has a special bridge. It appears to have several levers that slacken individual strings to give the guitar a pedal-steel-like sound.

Does anyone know what kind of guitar that is and what kind of bridge?

Thanks.

Bigsby Palm Lever System.
Kind of like a B-bender concept but without having to route the guitar to do so. It acn also be applied to multiple strings.
Really cool for pedal steel sounds

It's made by Bigsby, I think. It has hand paddles to bend the G or B strings. Don't know if it's still made.

you could check Elderly.com - they stock a lot of Bigsby stuff. Or Stewmac.
