Wrong. He'll want a G+L when he realises Alice In Chains were far better than both Nirvana and the Pumpkins...
That's a very good idea. Good luck finding a band with a drummer as good as Dave Grohl!
Get playing more. By then you'll have a better idea of any new gear you need when you've been playing for longer. You might even be after your own sound rather than wanting to sound like someone else.
Clear nail varnish also works.
If you must change the bridge, get a Staytrem.
Thread lock should be fine for now though.
Once you’ve got used to it, you need to decide if the upgrade to a staytrem is worth it - most upgrade due to strings popping out of saddle grooves, or other light string gauge related issues..
IMO take however long as needs be to find what your needs are and to find the equipment that suits your playing and sound more than fitting to the sound of someone else.
I've been good recently, no gear spending since Dec last year. Five months and it feels like a lifetime though. I've started constantly looking at guitars again so no doubt the gas is building in me as we speak...
But yeah, just nail varnish the bridge screws for now.
Part of the fun of guitar is walking into a guitar shop, seeing a guitar, thinking "that looks the nads" playing it, loving it, then buying it.
Then after a while you do it again...
FWIW, I'm in the club that says go into a few guitar shops and buy whatever you think is cool. For example I think these look cool...

And I'd bet dollars to dimes no-one else here will agree with me!
I prefer quirky looking guitars hence me going through the entire fender catalog before I settled on an Explorer and a musicman Sub 1
The westburys a well built guitar and should sound closely like an SG. Their nice for the price.
