Really cool video, thank you for enlightening us with this. I have the SG Special Ebony like the one you have. I also have the 1961 - Reissue with Humbuckers. Love them both!! But I was debating to get an SG Special, but considering you only have limited tones with just one pickup, I just don't know. Thank you for the words of wisdom. The best thing is to try it yourself.

I have an Iommi Special w/ a big chunky neck, but not a SG Junior unfortunately. Listening to the comparison here, I can hear the fundamental of the Junior more clearly than the Special…the immediacy of the attack. Seems to have more clear note separation too. I love my Iommi but would love to grab an SG Junior someday when they go back into production (which I’m sure they inevitably will). Thanks for the a/b, great playing as usual!

My first electric guitar was a 1961 Les Paul Jr with an SG body and a dog eared pickup .

Yeah, today I play my Harley Benton SG Junior left-handed it came with Alnico five magnets. I changed them to twos didn’t like it got a different pair of fives from stew Mac put them in now. It’s one Guitar of mine. That sounds different in every way I like it.

I’m on the hunt for an SG Junior but now people on Reverb are selling at over inflated prices. It’s been ridiculous. But also getting a Special but I find the neck pickup can get in my way when picking.

I have both guitars, and I feel right at home with each. Recently, I purchased an Ebony Les Paul Junior, and that has become my main guitar. However, before that, I was going back and forth between the two SGs. Love them. Thanks for sharing!
