Whitmore Willy Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Hello Custer, If you type epiphone factories into search....You will find the list that Ricochet put up for us on page 3. If he reads this he might put it up again. Good luck with Gas.....guitar aquisiton syndrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JefferySmith Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Another handy site is the Guitar Dater Project. But be aware that, if the database doesn't have the information for the serial number you submit, it will spit out the same, standard answer (typically something like "the guitar was made in Korea in 1994").
