dear mrdist
Tokai did offer a LesPaul Jnr replica in 1989 but only in the dbl cutaway design.
The model was TJ55, had solid mahogany body and neck, single P-90 style p'up, combined bridge/tailpce, 1xVol, 1x Tone and was avail in Cherry or Limed yellow. It was the Lime yellow that coined the term TV as it came out excellent on monochrome television. Gibson offered both the Jnr and the Special in "TV" finish.
The TJ-55 was worth 55,000yen in japan and around $650.00 Aust in 1989. The neck was very similar to the TLS series. A friend of mine bought one to play slide on and loved it better than his original Gibson.
