You need to try them really but what are you looking for?
Are you a beginner or looking to add a guitar to a collection? Do you play in a band and need a certain sound?
With a broad brush the one I tried was fine.

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youNo, I am not a beginner and yeah, I play in a rock band. We play covers, from Foo Fighters to Black Keys, to Arctic Monkeys and Strokes... but I play solo too, recording in the loneliness of my bedroom.
I need just an humbucker guitar and I really like the SG shape! I have an american Stratocaster and a Ibanez prestige with Emgs in drop C.
I just don't know how those minihb sound, because from YouTube samples they sound IDENTICAL to the normal humbuckers
EDIT: No, I don't know why my presentation post isn't in the section :O I'm redoing it now
REEDIT: Ok, nevermind. It's there. I'm drunk.
One thing about Gibsons is the angle of the headstock - you can't lie them flat (so don't try!).
Usual caveats & warnings about buying a used guitar unseen, but they are a quality instrument!
(Mine's not for sale.)
Thanks for the offer but right now I'm broke :P
Welcome to the forum.
With an SG if you do that, only the end of the body and the tip of the headstock will be touching; next thing is a bit of weight on it and it's snapped off. (Or if you've got it standing up against a cab and it falls over.)
There's a saying that a Gibson should either be in its case of being played.
It's not a reason not to buy - just a comment about the vulnerability of the design.

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youThe OP asks a question that I too have been pondering. The SG Special alternates between mini-humbuckers and 'normal' humbuckers every year. 2016 was mini, last year hb, 2018 back to mini? What's the difference?
I think I've read somewhere that mini humbuckers can be changed for P-90's, given the routing etc?
I don't like the pickguard, I prefer the smaller one
Oh ok, yeah I knew the headstock angle is very accentuated. I thought you meant something different (you know, I have the phrasal verbs terror :P ) Thank you, by the way!
At the and of the day it's obviously a matter of preferences.
Once I tried a '70s Les Paul Deluxe, its minihumbuckers were very noisy with crunched amplifiers. I mean, those picks could have had specific problems (wax, for example)...
How did they sound with distortions and fuzzes?
Thank so much!
-By the way, correct me if I write in a shitty way! Thanks
