[i.d. your Epiphone here -- serial # key, guitardater link + factory codes... a worldwide guide >part 3]

Thanks Pete, I appreciate the help. Appears to be slightly used, pick guard has a tiny amount of wear and the pick ups have a bit of the gold off. Was $400 a fair price for this? The store threw in a soft case and a couple pair of strings.

I just bought a Epiphone Joe Pass Emporer II at a local shop here in Tampa. Shop is going out of business tonight and all I got was the guitar, no box, warranty card, etc. I have managed to register it on Gibson.com, but I would really like to know more about when it was made. Serial # 8701 4136. Any answers to an eight digit number yet? Thanks in advance for any help.
