Lamps112 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I would really appreciate some help with figuring out the history of my guitar. The sticker inside says Gibson Epiphone, Model E-01, Made in Korea, Serial # Y593464. I have tried to research this on my own and cannot figure it out at all. Also it is an acoustic/electric guitar, and the battery cover has been lost to keep the 9 volt battery in it. Is this replaceable? Where do I go or who do I contact. It has an inlayed head of a moon around a star. Thanks so much in advance for any help, it is truly appreciated. Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamps112 Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 Wow, thanks a lot, any idea what year it is. I am thinking about selling it, but not really sure if its worth a whole lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinTheHood Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Guitar Dater says 2005, but I dont know how accurate it is. Not sure of how much its worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamps112 Posted March 3, 2011 Author Share Posted March 3, 2011 Well thanks for the help thus far, my father bought this guitar used in 1994 so def older than 2005, but that is the same answer I was coming up with on my own as far as dating. I appreciate your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinTheHood Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Hey, no problem. Its what we do here :) According to Blue Book, the EO-1 was made from 1992-2000. Thats probably a pretty decent estimation. Blue Book isnt always exaclty correct with dates, but they are usually in the ballpark. They give estimates on worth too, but you have to sign up and pay for the service. Here is a link to the page. The EO-1 & 2 are near the bottom. https://store.bluebo...roduct=0&id=192 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, the girl didn't stick around for long, but I still have the guitar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, the girl didn't stick around for long, but I still have the guitar... I'm guessing that at the time, Mutt Lange wouldn't have given her up.
