Bookkeeper's Son Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Epiphone serial numbers don't indicate model, etc. like an automobile VIN does. A full set of photos will aid identification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lefty Bill Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Serial number On Back Of My Guitar ... epiphone les paul speciall ii ??? When I saw your other post also regarding the serial number, it seems that you're stating that the model actually is a Les Paul Special II (and not asking if it is). So I'll take a WAG (wild axe guess) and say the Y represents an unknown factory, likely in Korea. The 7 likely represents 1997 for the year made, and the 03 represents the month of March. The following 4 digits represent a production quantity number for that month, at that factory. If the neck plate is the original one for that guitar (probably is), that will be all of the info that the serial number indicates.
