guitargirl13 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Hi folks, new to the forum and I have a quick question... Just bought my first Ephiphone off eBay (yep a bit risky!) but I believe I've picked up a good one but don't know the model of it as there was limited description. All I know is the serial number S020403573 which indicates it was made at the Samick factory in 2002. The guitar itself (don't know how to post a picture!) has: No pick guard Cherry sunburst (lines sort of goin across) Black pick ups 4 gold knobs Black switch On the head stock it says Epiphone slanted Les Paul in script GIBSON vertically Can anyone help me out?

bigneil Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 can you supply a good picture? or point us to one. there are far too many LP models to guess exactly what yours is from a simple description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deeman Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Take a picture, sign up for photobucket, upload picture to photobucket, copy the link, it'll be on the right side of the page, open this thread, hit reply, click insert image, copy link into the box and voila, your picture is on the internet.

southrun Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 If you cannot get a pic up to post, go to the EPI WIKI site that is pinned near the the top of the forums here. You should be able to narrow it down there as almost all variations are listed and shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitargirl13 Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 Hi thanks for the replies... I have one photo off the actual eBay listing. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Epiphone-les-paul-/221296358332?redirect=mobile&nma=true&si=MoZ6oUGDmltxz4MgUnsH3j7wlkY%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Like I said I really took a gamble with this one, impulse buy!

bigneil Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Looks good to me. I have never seen a copy with the Korean style "Gibson" truss rod cover. I would say that someone has modded a bit and taken off the pickguard. (if I'm not mistaken, there looks like a wee hole where the screw would have been). I think it's a LP standard.

nick_s Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I can't help with identification but it's certainly a looker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitargirl13 Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 Yes my first instinct was a classic that's why I got it but I wasn't sure. I hope upon close inspection it isn't a fakerino :) Thanks for your help, phew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lengle1981 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Yes my first instinct was a classic that's why I got it but I wasn't sure. I hope upon close inspection it isn't a fakerino :) Thanks for your help, phew! Just short of £150 is a good deal in the uk on an epi les paul std. Nice looking guitar mate, got yourself a bargain. I could do with an eBay impulse buy ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigneil Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Seems to be an Epi LP Classic http://epiphonewiki.com/index.php/Les_Paul_Classic or a LP standard with pulled off pickup covers http://epiphonewiki.com/index.php/All_Les_Paul_Models#Les_Paul_Standard The Classic was only available in gold or black in 2002. and the classic plus was not available until 2003. I still say standard with some modifications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
