Hi All, Utter Novice needs help

I have searched the web and the amount of info is mind boggling.

A Guitar, which I presume has been attic bound for some time, has come to me via family.

I do not even play, sorry, but am eager to know the origin of this instrument.

 

It is a Epihone/Gibson Limited edition Les Paul Model LP Standard. The front is 'sparkly' dark green whilst the rest is dark brown wood with a kind of ivory/pearl trim. The serial number is U7011126 and is on the rear of the headstock. The number is ink-stamped in gold.

 

Here are some pictures of it........

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

Well I plugged in that serial number into the Guitar Dater site and it gave me this:

 

Your guitar was made at the

Unsung Plant, Korea

January 1997

Production Number: 1126

 

Weird finish, I've never seen one like that on a LP Standard.
