Every time I'm ready to accept the fact that it's a genuine Epiphone! 😉 I've been in touch with Gibson/Epiphone and they had me send in several photos of the guitar, inside and out. I'll be very interesting in what they have to say.

Awesome looking 56'! What kind of vibrato do you have on there? I had one in Chicago Blue for a while (had to sell it to help with medical expenses). Loved the neck on that thing.

Thanks for all of your replies. I know we’re not exactly taking high-end guitars here, but I find it reassuring to know. It’s a beautiful guitar and I like it more and more as I get to know it.
Thanks again for taking the time to reply and share your knowledge and experience, it has been much appreciated! -
Might the control wiring be indicative of anything? Someone told me to check and see if it was solid wood (vs. MDF), which it appears to be, but I was a little surprised to see the mini pots when I took the cover plate off.

Hello,
Just picked up an Epi Les Paul Standard in a stunning translucent green. While I haven't been able to get any solid hits from online dating sources, from what I've read online, it was built in 2000 in the Saein, Korea factory. What raised an eyebrow was the sloppy, unmatched serial number and lack of any Epiphone or "Limited" Edition logos on the back of the headstock. Is this common for this factory/time period? Should I be worried this might be a fake? Any help would be most appreciated! Thanks!

Epiphone wasn’t much help. They said it “appears” to be authentic and sent a link for the current Plus Top Pro line.
There may be some odd things on there but I’m calling it authentic. I’ll probably upgrade pickups and wiring someday but for now I’m just going to enjoy it.
Thanks again for all your help and input!
