brandonhutch Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Hello all. I picked this guitar up years ago for a great price but now I'm very interested in the details. Running the serial number through the database shows it as a 2002 made in Korea. It appears to be a Les Paul Plus Top by all indications but I cannot nail down an official color. It appears much of a richer/darker color than either the Desertburst or Iced Tea but maybe it is one of those. Any help is appreciated and thank you in advance! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinch Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Looks like a burgundy red that's been in a window for a while? Great LPs, the PlusTops. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparquelito Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 That model of Epiphone Les Paul was offered in the following finishes, according to Fjestad's Blue Book:Honey Burst, Heritage Cherry Sunburst, Trans. Amber, Trans. Blue, Vintage Sunburst, or Wine Red. I have looked up examples of all those finishes, and yours doesn't resemble any of those. Whatever it is, it sure is beautiful!! :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad1 Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 Its about 18 years old, so chances are it looks different from when it came out of the factory. See if you can find someone else with the same guitar. Maybe they might know. And maybe there's looks different from yours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandonhutch Posted January 4, 2020 Author Share Posted January 4, 2020 Thanks for the replies. Is there any chance that if I call Gibson/Epiphone that they might know if given the serial number? I can certainly do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I can't speak for the storage conditions in the the 3 years between manufacture and when I purchased it, but it's been in the case ever since 2005. 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
