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.

 

Regards,

Bill
