Humpy,
I guess I was more focused on Love Rock's and ES' rather than the junior when posting my comments.
I agree that the differential between the Junior and LR seems a bit odd to say the least.
However w.r.t UK pricing I still say that dealers are pricing them according to the quality of the instrument.
What you have to consider is that Tokai's are Gibson LP standard quality at Epiphone prices.
Dealers are looking at that ?1.5k Gibson or ?2k PRS and then at that ?400 Tokai and they *know* that even at ?800 the buyer is still getting a 'good deal', so up goes the price.
As with all things in this capitalist world something is only worth what people are willing to pay for it, Tokai's are going out of the shops faster than the distributor can import them, so from their perspective the pricing appears about right.
Lower prices - I wish - then I could get a couple more at least!
