blues62 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 Hello, Not really new, However haven't been here in awhile. I have a Epiphone Les Paul that I picked up and the SN:Letter stating with L is messing me up. The guy I pick it up from bought it new in 1995 per him. Is there any of you fine folk know any thing about the guitar it really sounds and play great. I don't think it's a chambered body it's weights about 10 pounds. Thanks for you help.

Hello, Your guitar was made in Korea in November of 1997, production number 407. You can look up the number here: http://www.guitardaterproject.org/epiphone.aspx .From there you can google 97 or 98 Epi Les Pauls and find out more about your particular model. http://epiphonewiki.com/index.php/All_Les_Paul_Models#Les_Paul_Standard_2 .
