I know there is some difficulty in determining at which factory the Epi Les Pauls were made. The EE factory is I believe the preferred one and I have a serial # here (EE071101242) for an Epi that I need some help with. When did the serial #'s first two digits stop indicating the factory? Is this an EE Epi? Thanks!

Nowadays the Chinese Epiphones are at least equal to Korean Epiphones. I currently have 3 QingDao Epiphones, and they're finished to a much higher standard than either of the Korean Epiphones I had. Epiphone is producing very well made and well finished guitars these days, at least in my opinion.

 

For the benefit of the OP, I believe sometime in 2008 was when Epiphone stopped using letters to denote the factory of origin. Nowadays they a serial number comprised solely of numbers.
