FT:Les Paul Replica Japanese built late 70's

[lamf37]

Have no idea regarding the origins of this little beauty, It's 100% Japanese and is from the late 70's, again I'm going by the replica nature of the Volute and headstock shape, there are plenty of dings and some large lacquer chips missing, from around the bottom horn and back of headstock, it was all Nitro cellulose finished when made as I removed a lot of it before repainting the top in goldtop..It is a solid mahogany backed body with maple cap and thin flamed veneer, I covered teh veneer with gold as I'd mistakenly took it for a solid maple cap and rubbed through some of the veneer making it impossible to finish nicely in a burst or transparent colour. The headstock has had a Gibson Inlay put in and les paul decal applied, in no way is this being done to decieve the unsuspecting public and that's why I'm trying to keep it on the forum.
There is a serial number stamped into the back which has been there since it's birth, maybe someone can identify it from that, on other forums I was lead to believe it may be an early Tokai,Burny or Fresher copy of a Lester.
I was about to start work on it again before deciding I dont need another les paul and was hoping someone would do teh decent thing and swap it for something else.
It has Bareknuckle mules in it, these were from when bareknuckle had not long started out, possibly a year or so into their inception.
There is no switch and pot wiring in it at the minute but it will be wired up ready for you with vintage braided wire and pots before I let it leave, comes with a TKL hardcase too.
any questions fire away and I'll try and answer them to the best of my ability.
Jaguars, jazzmasters,mustangs and anything else freaky considered...
