After much consideration I pulled out the bridge studs - filled in the holes and re-drilled it.
After re-assembling it, it sounded beautifull
It was a very frustrating time, but it taught me a lot about the physics of guitar strings. I have a lot of faith in Electronic tuners

i guess you were in worse shape than i was with my epip. lp. std. fret buzz (set up problem)! what you did with that sg took a great deal of courage! and thanks for the set up info for my lp. std. keep rockin!
