robbiefowler Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I got hold of an old epiphone - with a standard cutaway les paul style body with an interesting headstock. Is this a new headstock the old owner put on? Or is this an epiphone model? How do I find out what model the guitar is? The serial is 097060780 which comes out as - Korea June 1997 Production Number: 0780 Front and back pics - it came with stickers all over it. No idea whats behind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtb2000 Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 is there any other marking, or some better pics of the body. Also what is under that black sticker on the headstock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinTheHood Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 The headstock has been "modified", if you want to call it that. More like butchered, IMO. We'd have to see the front of the body to determine the model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myonus Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Thats the newest Gibson plastic ive ever seen on a older epiphone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KVL Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Judging from the LP shape and the bolt-on neck, my guess is a poorly amputated LP-100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinTheHood Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Yep. LP Special II. I'm weeping for that poor guitar right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KVL Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 It is a massacred LP Special II a LP-100 would have a carved top and 2 vol/ 2 tone controls You're right... There's so much crap on it, that I cant see one knob, let alone 4... LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbiefowler Posted May 10, 2013 Author Share Posted May 10, 2013 yes - LP Special II - sounds good. Thanks everyone for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender 4 Life Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 the emblem someone covered up on the HS looks like someone added a horribly butchered Electra neck to a LP 100 OR someone added an Epi neckplate to a massacred Electra LP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearhead Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Have you taken the pickups out and looked to see what they say on the back plate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkuss Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Definitely a home made shape from the existing headstock. Robbie Fowler is a legend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
