Epi BB king real or fake?

Got this guitar some time ago, owner told me Korean 2000. Everything looks normal to me apart from non standard tailpiece (doesn't have the micro tuners) but knowing what the corrosion is like on Epi metal work I wouldn't be surprised if it was replaced. The guitar is very good, particularly the neck. Pick ups are marked epiphone and sound great. I have seen fake BB Kings but they were all Gibson fakes and the headstock inlay was unmistakably different and definitely not original. Not sure if they fake Epis too.

One thing does concern me is I have put the serial number into a few of the Serial number decoder sites and just comes up number not recognized. (R0003026)

Any ideas?
