Gibson Guitar of the Week - Week 17 - SG Mirror

i know the specs and everything, but im wondering if anyone has ever played one? and if anyone knows how much its worth?

thanks

it's an sg special, so I can't imagine it's all the different from a normal sg special. Although it has grover tuners, so i'd imagine it stays in tune better

would it be worth it to trade my hagstrom super swede w/ SD pickups for one?

That's up to you......

490s tends to get a bit muddy in the middle, but I guess that is endemic to most Gibson pickups today.

Me? Yes, I'd trade.
In a heartbeat.

Play it?

I agree about the muddiness, but they do have a really great crunch tone, not quite Burstbuckers but brighter than 57's IMO. Trade if you like it.
