jpitt916 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Hi, I am getting frustrated trying to find out what Epiphone my wife just picked up. It looks like an SG, but it has 2 tone knobs, and 2 volume knobs. It also has: 3 way selector switch fixed bridge 2 humbucker pickups dot fret markers neck-thru body transparent burgundy Serial number is: S9200593 The Serial number decoder that everyone links to doesn't find it. I can post pics tomorrow if that will help. The strangest thing about it is the truss cover says "Gibson" on it. So I don't know if the original one was lost, or if it is supposed to say that.

rockstar232007 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Yes, pics will be more helpful. And don't bother using the Guitar Dater, as it isn't accurate. If after you post the pics and none of us can help you, then the next best thing to do is to, contact Gibson with the serial #, and see what they have to say.

RobinTheHood Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Well, its a 90's Samick, thats seems for sure, but the fixed bridge and set neck dont add up to me. Yup, pics needed. Also, the Gibson truss cover is normal. They put them on during the mid 90's to early 00's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpitt916 Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 Sorry, it's a tune-o-matic bridge. I haven't been around the guitar world much yet. Yeah, we figure it's a Samick, but other than that we're lost. LOL That's my Jackson DXMGT on the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinTheHood Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Sorry' date=' it's a tune-o-matic bridge. I haven't been around the guitar world much yet.[/quote'] Thats makes more sense. I'm not sure what model they put dot inlays on a G-400, but I'm sure someone here knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hungrycat Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 G-400. Samick, 1992. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpitt916 Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 G-400. Samick' date=' 1992. [/quote'] Thanks! Were the dot markers something specific to that year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinTheHood Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 G-400. Samick' date=' 1992. [/quote'] Thats what I thought, too. But the serial number would be missing the dd/mm in that case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epinder Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Thanks! Were the dot markers something specific to that year? I don't know about being specific to that year, but definitely to that era.. http://web.archive.org/web/19980703172605/www.epiphone.com/products/epiphone/solidbody/6.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragtech Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I have been kinda of reluctant to post on this but after a week and a 1/2 of looking i figure its time to ask some one who hopefully knows more then me. Well now that one mystery has been solved i feel i must ask one of myself. I have been looking at this Epi Les Pual and for the life of me i cant id it. I spoke with the seller and was told all the hardware is original. Has there ever been a model of this color that came with all black hardware? The stock # is I01021247 and the info that brings up is. The seller told me it was a Limited and could not really provide more info then that an thats why i started to look around for more information. I am going to look at it in person tomorrow (hopefully). Guitar Info Your guitar was made at the Saein Plant, Korea/China February 2001 Production Number: 1247 sorry picks are pore but its all i got.
