2016 limited run, $1000 from Germany, so I wouldn't be able to try it out. It's satin finish which I don't love but... I have a BK P90 which'd fit nicely into that neck.

It's close enough to what I'd like while being different enough from the SG jnr.
 
I've stewed over this for a couple of days now and finally voted B.
Reason, a custom is just so sexy. Something about it, I can't explain. It's a primal thing.
But it's missing something.
I can't quite put my finger on it...
 
I like none of the A or B choices.
I do like Epiphones and Schecters, just not these 2.
Now that burst seems nice until I see that the Switch is in the wrong place and there are only 2 controls. I'd like it alot if it had the standard LP appointments.

It's missing things that this one probably isn't lacking:

2018 SG classic - over $2000 now, but maybe they'll drop down to $1600-1700 this time next year (like the 2017's classics are now). For some weird and wacky reason, I'm liking this black one over the goldtop - doesn't make sense, but it just looks so good.
 
Especially in Seoul I bet.
I always loved the Kirk guitars, the Greenish Pelham blue SG's, and of course my White/Yellowed type ones.

PS. I always loved Customs, but in addition to viewing these examples I also had my own prejudices ever since the 70's. To clarify, I never thought 2 pickup LP or SG Block inlay Customs look right. Black Lesters have to either be Standards or Customs for me. Also, I will not kick any guitar out of bed unless it is red. Red guitars are my absolute last choice except if members like Kerry Brown own one like his Red 3 knob 90's SG.

There is a nice SG special custom for sale in Seoul, but it is red...

And its 3,500 US dollars.

I have not tried it but I'd be surprised if it's worth 2,000 dollars more than my junior

I was playing the junior tonight and it gets better and better. It must have rolled neck ends because it feels fantastic.

So is the point of getting a P-90 loaded LP? What about finding a used Gibson 60's or 70's tribute? I really like the Epi aesthetics if I had a choice.
The mini hums in the 70's will fit a P-90 from what I was told. I was going to swap mine at one point. Satin doesn't bother me. Add Virtuoso polish and it takes care of that :)

I probably wouldn't even be looking at those since you have an awesome Jr.! You got that base covered and you would just be nit picking between the 2, especially being basically the same color.
