    Do you have to adjust the truss rod when you go from open E to standard tuning on that SG, and did/do you leave your 11’s on it?

      I did and in this video I have .010s on the SG.

        Glad to hear that because it is consistent with what I found; I had to tighten my truss rod on my ’61 SG RI when going up to 11’s and open E tuning. Thanks for the validation.

      Great lesson. Do you have an entire dvd on B.B. King style licks? I’d love to buy it if you do.
