    That SG surely rocks. Very nice guitar.

    Hey, if you want to unload a couple, then I'll give you my address. On the other hand, if you're wanting to SELL a couple, then I'm not much good to you... :

    Yes, it is a tremelo bar. The call it a vibrolo. The strings are attached to it.
    The piece is anchored to the body and is curved metal. That acts as a spring when the handle is moved changing the tension on the strings. The Custom has a fancy metal piece that attached to the vibrolo and went to the bottom of the body. You can see it on an Angus Young.
