I was just interested in your opinions/preferences... Which is your favourite SG - a Junior, a Special or a Standard?

I'll help with me SG pics (but SG John or Gahr or Sysco or Don or other posters who love SGs will come along and own me... :)

My Junior:

My Standard - errrm, never owned one, so I'll throw in my SG future Tribute with 57s and thin nitro (a faded in the background which is also pretty much a bare bones standard-ish guitar; I liked them both equally)...

But, this is just a simple question: which one is your favourite?
 
I'm struggling to choose.

I really love the Specials, to me they are the sexiest guitar out there. But, the Juniors sound better. &, even though I've as yet to find a Standard that blows my mind, they are obviously out there and the humbucker sound can be glorious. In fact, I can't choose hence needing you great gentlemen and lady(ies?) to offer insightful thoughts on this most important of issues.
 
Tough call.... I like them all..... Especially when they’re P90 loaded.
@Mr Grumpy ...Your Special looks amazing! It has everything I would want going for it.
I would love to find a Junior that fits me someday.
My Standard P90 is probably the nicest SG that I currently own...a very versatile axe. Straight out of the factory box.
 
take all my guitars BUT do NOT take my 14 SGJ with the Zebra alnicos...its on 75% of my stuff...it does heavy..jazz,,,acoustic..they are clear pickups..the fretboard is amazing & it has 24 frets...

Nice looking SGJ! I had one just like it, but it didn't hold up to my Standard and I had too many SG's at the time so it had to go.
 
Standard, not even close.

But I will also get behind what BFT is saying. I foolishly let my ‘14 SGJ go and really regret it. Simple as it was, it was one heck of a great SG.
