HELP : 2000 Les Paul

[Jonat]

Hi Guys,

I would like your help to identify the specs of an 2000 Epiphone Les Paul.

If I get it right, it was built in Korea (S/N : U00050151).

Any additional specs you know or can identify : Was it a Custom model / limited edition / color / wood type ???

Modification : I changed the pickups for Gibson Classic 57 & 57+.

Current market value?

Thanks!

At first I was thinking koa for the wood type but taking a closer look at the wood grain it looks like mahogany

Looks like a perfectly legit Korean lp custom, but that plain mahogany finish wasn't a standard finish offered. 

Maybe it was a dealer special?  Or a refin. Did you buy brand new?

I have read on another forum that Vintage Mahogany might be the specific color. Makes sense to me.

Yes, i did buy it brand new but I can’t remember the specifics.  I can’t find the original receipt and all I can remember is Les Paul Custom Limited Edition.

Think both are the same guitar.
