I don't really see the point of a third bucker, but if you really want to know, next time you change strings, after you have all the strings off, take off the pickguard (don't unscrew the pickups or anything, just take off the pickguard, if there is space in pickup cavity of the guitar, then you can add one, all you would need to do is buy a pickguard from the sg that has the 3 pups (check ebay), and then put that on your guitar instead, and install a third pickup in (don't ask me how that would get wired together, but it's possible) and if the guitar doesn't have the space in the pickup cavity, then it could be routed out by a luthier, may be kinda costly though.

as for a tremolo, well, you could get this unique kind of tremolo for les pauls and SGs. it wouldn't be hard to install, and wouldn't require wood work.

here's a bigsby, it may need to be installed by a luthier though, so it may end up costing alot.. and as for a maestro, I dunno, it seems like it would require alot of work, and probably be really costly (perhaps more costly then just buying an angus young guitar)
