So I bought this Epiphone from a friend who said it was a Les Paul. It looks in every like a LP, with a couple exceptions.

 

No "Les Paul" signature on the headstock

It has "Gibson" on the truss rod plate

 

I know from the serial number it is Korean made, but not much else.

 

Any suggestions?

 

By the way I really like it, for an intermediate electric guitarist like myself it very much fits the bill. I am just very very curious on what the model is and whether it is an imitation or "phony" make.

 

Here are some pictures.....

Nick,

 

It's real.

LP-100

It was made in Korea....Probably mid to late 90's. (my best guess) based on truss rod cover.

From the F serial I'm guessing Fine Plant.

 

Should be a fun guitar if it is set up properly.

 

By the way....About those strings...

Thanks so much for the quick replies! I'm relieved to hear that it is indeed a LP. Weird that it lacks the signature as that would be pretty cool...As I said though I really like this guitar a lot and now, thanks to you guys, I know exactly what it is!

 

Ok ok, I will cut the strings! My girlfriend is constantly telling me that as well. She thought it was funny that it came up.

Thanks again.

The blank headstock was pretty typical of the mid to late 1990's. Even moreso for the LP-100, although, later versions have the "Les Paul Model" silkscreen.
