Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
depending on the type of tremolo not to difficult, a 2nd knob will require a router and both should be done by a tech or luthier, as far as guitar center I have no idea what they charge, as I use a private luthier in Napa CA!. put it this way, he took my 5120 Gretsch, set it up, pinned the bridge, and changed the tuning machines which required re drilling, and only charged $65 dollars minus the price of the machines of course, did a great job, and the price was very good if you ask me Www@QuestionHome@Com

It would be very difficult to add a tremolo to the SG, since that would involve routing out some of the body!.

You can add a second volume knob on the Ibanez relatively easily!. Look at the diagram in the link below!. (BTW, this Phil Gawen fellow did a fantastic job illustrating the wiring!.) I have no idea how much a tech would charge to do this, but I'd bet it will be expensive!.

Try doing it yourself, that's what I always do!. You'll just need to learn some basic electronics assembly skills like soldering and stripping wires!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
