So, what do I have to do to fix my SG’s neck dive?

What are y'all doing to your guitars?!?

I honestly can't remember the last time I broke a string; I change my strings MAYBE once a year; and once setup, my guitars...stay in tune? I bend heavily, but don't have any floating tremolos (and currently don't play my one guitar that does have a decked trem).

Locking tuners are just...unnecessary bulk/mass as far as I'm concerned.
I’m not exactly sure what you’re replying to.
 
relocate the strap buttons

Swap the Grovers for some Klusons. Put some lead fishing weights in the control cavity that the tuner swap doesn’t do it.
 
I did take the Grovers out just to see if it would get rid of the neck dive and with no tuning machines in there is no neck dive. I searched for lightweight tuning machines and Gotoh Stealth came up as the lightest but I can't seem to find them anywhere. I'll check out StewMac for something.
 
I’m going to try a set of Gotoh SXN510V-SLB Electric/Acoustic Guitar Premium Keys KEYSTONE 3x3, NICKEL

Why the reverse neck pickup? Also the pickup cover is screening as much as possible already.
 
Yes I didn't notice that it was The PG set . As for the copper it won’t do anything. 🤘🏻

I am going to try your advice by winding the string higher on the peg to see if I can get it to stay in tune when the new tuning machines get here. IIRC, you just want me to put the last wrap on top, yeah?
