Cool guitar, but the pricing should be lower.
ATM it's as much as a Special Faded. :?

Other than I'm glad they brought back the SG Jr.

Yeah, I had one for a while, it was pretty good.  MIJ, fairly chunky neck.... not nitro though.  But you can get it in white.

Love that, ticks all the boxes except one thing: that fretboard. It's so wrong. Dealbreaker for me.

I think I'd rather go the Japanese Tokai route too, though I don't dislike the baked maple I'm not keen on the knob placement.

I keep an eye out on eBay and my ill though though plan is, if ever a Tokai SG Junior comes up at a reasonable second hand price, get it and stick a Riff-Raff in it. It may never come to pass though.
