Or get yourself a Wilkinson roller bridge

I've never tried reverse stringing. My SG has a bit of a rattle occasionally so I might give it a try when I next restring. Do you literally just do this?

Yessir, Mr. V-C! I've done it two ways: keep the tailpiece the same orientation (indented holes toward the butt of the guitar) and turning it the other way (indented holes toward the neck). Both are about the same in terms of tension and tonz

Cool, thanks for the tip!

Do they make a direct replacement?

like in that pic above - but UNDER the tailpiece. careful with the finish maybe.

These are pretty cool too, they come in a variety of finishes, not only gold, and you can set the string spacing:
