g0ldenboy Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 This is the serial number: U5010234 Can I get any information on the guitar from this? It's a les paul and I assume a Gibson, but I guess it could be epiphone... my father called me to ask for help and just gave me that number. Thanks in advance!

rocketman Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 This is the serial number: U5010234 Please post some pictures. That serial number doesn't look right.

Fixr1984 Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 The truss rod cover is wrong, there should be 2 screws not 3 and it shouldnt say Gibson on it. My guess is its an Epiphone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarJunkie Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 It is an Epiphone. And to answer your original question, the "U" means the Usung plant in Korea, the "5" means either 1995 or 2005 (99 percent sure it's 2005) and the 01 means january.

epinder Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 It is an Epiphone. And to answer your original question' date=' the "U" means the Usung plant in Korea, the "5" means either 1995 or 2005 (99 percent sure it's 2005) and the 01 means january.[/quote'] Not to be nit picky, but you are correct to say it is a 1995 LP. If it were a 2005 the serial number would be: U0501.... So in closing, it looks like it is in great condition for a 13 year old guitar. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanMan Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 I agree..... based on the TRC alone, it looks like an Epi. Nice guitar! Is that one of those new "soft" cases? How's it working out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
