PJ 55 BBR ?

[Sigmania]

The seller listed this as a PJ55. I am not sure what it is. Have not found it in a catalog.

Similar to that TPB55S, but no pickguard.

And I don't see holes that were filled on this one.

Wouldn't that be ABR? I can also see some parallels to the strange ABR TE models with only the Tokai logo and gold hardware (seemingly preceding the similar looking Custom Edition models) we briefly discussed recently. It's quite possible that Tokai itself didn't differentiate well between BB and AB. After all "BB" seems to mean "Black Beauty" and that originally was attributed to (all) black LP Customs with gold hardware.

Well, a day when Tokai didn't confuse the hell out of everyone was a boring day!

You’re right of course. I posted that when I was half asleep. More interested in what model it might be?
