Jonathan_alvare Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Hi: The serial number is at the back of the guitar's head-stock. Have a look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 A search only shows made in June of 2005. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mihcmac Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) The factory code AC doesn't seem to track in the data base, when you have a 2 letter code the first letter A (unknown) would usually indicate the factory the second letter C could indicate China. This is most likely a LP-100 Studio built from 93 to present at several different factories and would have a slim mahogany body and a contoured Maple cap. Being manufactured in 2005 and having a nut plate inscribed "Les Paul 100" it could be QingDao built. If the nut plate said GIBSON it could be a LP-100 Studio built in a few other factories in Korea, China or Indonesia. These had a rep of having very good playing bolt-on necks. Also there were a few LP-100 Standard's built in Korea with an Alder cap for the Japan market.
