BenShute Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 I have an Epiphone Les Paul electric that I purchased about 13 years ago, and I am trying to work out what model it is. It has a bolt neck like the LP-100, but LP-100 has dot inlays whereas this one has a the trapezoidal inlays. the neck plate has it handcrafted in Korea, with a serial no of F97110089. If anyone can help me identify the model, that would be brilliant! Thanks Ben
gearhead Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 SO YOU GOT ANY PICS? IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, THE LP100 HAS A SLIGHTLY THINNER BODY THAN, SAY, THE LP JR'S. MY JR'S BODIES ARE ABOUT 1 9/16" THICK. MY FRIEND HAS AN OLDER LP100 AND THE BODY IS A BIT THINNER THAN THAT. POST SOME PICS IF YOU CAN. ALSO, THE LP100 HAS A CARVED TOP, NOT FLAT.

gearhead Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 Looks like a LP 100 to me. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure. Nice top on it! I've been wanting to get a LP, something besides a Jr. In fact I missed a LP 100 body that went for $54 with shipping on Ebay yesterday.. Did you buy that new?
BenShute Posted December 28, 2010 Author Posted December 28, 2010 Fantastic, thanks! I did buy it new, it was the first "real" electric guitar I bought, after having a couple of knock together, no name models. The body is great, just needs a new pick guard and a switch cap and it's as good as new.
