Another Epiphone Les Paul Custom, LEGIT or FAKE?

[GlauberJoe]

Hi there, I've come across an Epihone Les Paul Custom Alpine White in a local store but I wanted to make sure it is a legit Epiphone, not a Fake one that you find everywhere these days.

A help would be appreciated by identifying it as a legit Epiphone.

It's serial is i13012743 and it a match but so is almost every fake ones I've encountered so far.

Any light on the matter?

Thanks

I don't know, that serial number looks fishy to me. is the store saying it's a '13 model? I'm pretty sure Epi didn't use letter factory ids in 2013 and I don't believe that factory is making Epis anymore.

According to it's serial number I figured it is a 2013 from The Guitar Dater project and other sites like Wiki but just to make sure I've posted here and also sent those pictures to Gibson but I guess it takes them a while for them to get back to me.
