gramps Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I need some help with an Electric that I purchased in a yard sale. The silver plate in the back is Korean made with the serial number starting with C?? Any ideas?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animalfarm Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 By the fact that you're HERE/EPI forum, I'm assuming it's an EPI? Pictures would sure help and/or a description of the git - LP, Hollowbody, Electric, Acoustic? BUT, the guitar dater project sez (based on Serial # only): Your guitar was made at a factory not yet added to the database September 1994 Production Number: 0403 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gramps Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 Thank you animal. Uploaded images to maybe clarify the model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animalfarm Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Thank you animal. Uploaded images to maybe clarify the model. Your guitar "screams" Les Paul 100 (LP-100) model at me, the plate on the back is the Real Deal, but the factory "C" designation is escaping me... cannot find Factory. Anyone else?

animalfarm Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Here's a real twist - I went with the assumption that the"C" at the beginning was actually a "0" that had been worn down a bit: Your guitar was made in Korea September c.2004 Production Number: 0403 Gee, only a TEN YEAR difference in production date depending on "C" or "0"..... Hmmmmm....... Did you buy the Guitar to MATCH the CAT???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSDx Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Gramps .... if I were you (just my personal opinion), I'd lose the pickguard .... way too white compared to the p'up surrounds..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

animalfarm Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Yard Sale, eh? Are you at liberty to say HOW MUCH? Cream pickguard here, only $5.95: http://store.guitarfetish.com/lesparepivis.html And forgot to say, WELCOME to the FORUM, "GRAMPS"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gramps Posted January 30, 2010 Author Share Posted January 30, 2010 Thank you for the feedback. The guitar was a yard sale find, but does not say Les Paul. The serial number assuredly starts with "C". I found that this may mean collector edition. Do you think that may be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animalfarm Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Going to say probably NOT on the "collector edition" assumption. BUT for $100 it's a GREAT find, especially if all electronics work. Hardshell case came with/without? "C" is most likely a Factory code that isn't showing up on all the usual info sites. You CAN go to Epiphone.com and email them with this question.
