Well an up date is in order. The guitar went through Vig Guitars twice and the binding is still loose and the frets still buzz.
Is the buzzing consistent up & down the fretboard? If so you probably just need to loosen the trussrod a bit to add some relief. If not a proper fret-levelling should cure the issue.
I recently picked up a 1971 Gibson SG Deluxe, from when they briefly used a parallel neck/body arrangement a la Rickenbacker. The previous owner couldn't set the action (via the bridge) as desired at the upper frets without lotsa buzzing at the lower & middle frets, and thus let it go for a very reasonable price.
First thing I did after restringing was check the relief. Sure enough the trussrod was too tight. When I removed the TRC I was amazed to find the adjustment nut and surrounding cavity enveloped in a thick coating of lacquer. My guess is this guitar had probably gone through its first ~45 years of existence without a single trussrod adjustment. !! After I chipped away the lacquer I found the nut was frozen…had to carefully apply some WD-40 to loosen it up, thus reinforcing my suspicion about the rod never being adjusted. Anyway I then set the relief to taste, lowered the bridge to taste
et voilà! The guitar is now a fast & easy player up & down the neck. No buzzing. Sometimes the correct fix is also an easy one.
Oh, also: this guitar has a Bigsby-made, Gibson-branded B5 on it. I'm not keen on this particular model so I've disabled it by removing the arm. I like what it does for the guitar's sound (and balance) just by being there, though, so I've left the spring in place.
