Would it be a good Idea to put medium heavy guage strings on my sg?

Hi Dave, at about 4:10 you talk about the strings touching the bridge...I have a guitar that has a bit of fret buzz (on the low E & A) and even with a setup by the local tech guy it doesn't seem to have improved much, my strings are touching the bridge when they come off the backside of the bridge in between the string catcher and the bridge.I recall the E&A are touching the bridge there...is that what is causing the buzz?

Reall Gibsons dont have fret ends sticking out all over the place, they have nubs made from the binding!

No excuse for the gooched neck angle on an $1199 guitar. None. Doesn't seem to be marked as a second. Don't know if Gibson does that anymore.

Hey Dave.... what happened to the "Elliot Goblett" (Aussie comedian in the 80's), specs man?

LOL

@SkateoverSchool247 Hey, Guitar Center really isn't all that bad. Yeah, it spawns idiots who think they're good when they're not, but it's actually a perfectly fine store. I like my local GC because they carry a LOT more gear than any of the local music stores.

I take it the 2008 under "Made in USA" was it? XD
