Epiphone Les Paul Custom SIlver Burst - Real or Fake?

[RyanB1979]

Hi all, Please can someone give me some advice?

 

I have owned an Epiphone (?) Les Paul Custom Silver burst for a few years now, don't use it much so I was looking at selling it, and some people are saying it's a fake.

 

Please can anyone with the know how give me some advice?

 

Many Thanks.

 

Ryan.

Here is what the serial # should look like:

 

I have more pics for comparison if needed. (I cant' believe I took a pic of my feet! ) Also, is yours a Custom Pro? I ask because of uncovered zebra pickups.
