SG neck dive is about getting the right strap. I used a suede strap, which has a grippy back, and never had problems with neck dive.
That wouldn't solve it for me, the knob would still be in the way! It seems that Fender know this too; on my Squier Contemporary Active Strat it was moved away from the pickup...
That said, I did own an early 80s SG that was shocking for neck dive but I've been since told that the geometry on these is different to the one I have now.
My 2004 SG Special has been my live weapon of choice since I got it 16 years ago - it has a Rotosound suede strap and it doesn't dive. At. All.
Oh and the headstock is still intact, despite hitting a recalcitrant bass player with it.
