Members Hammer97e Posted March 6, 2012 Members Share Posted March 6, 2012 I picked up this Epiphone Les Paul, used from my local GC. I am extremely impressed with, plays wonderful and is a keeper. Anyways, it was listed as a "Classic", but from my search it doesn't look like the Classic ever came with gold hardware or cream plastics. The gold makes me lean towards it being a "Custom", but headstock doesn't match that of a "Custom". I am just kind of curious as to what it is, for what I paid and for how it cleaned up, I got a great deal either way, even if its just a "Standard". Sorry for the phone pics. Some vitals: Gorgeous Wine Red Flamed Top Gold Hardware, though mostly worn and faded, kinda looks cool. Serial number is I0005XXXX - so it is Korean from 2000 Has the Epiphone Limited Edition stamp on the back of the neck. Any info is appreciated.... Thanks!!

Members RaVenCAD Posted March 6, 2012 Members Share Posted March 6, 2012 I had an Epi Les Paul Classic, circa 1999 or maybe a 2000.. Cherry sunburst, chrome hardware, creme plastic, "Limited Edition" stamp on the back of the headstock, slim taper neck. I sold mine in about 2006 for $250 with the Epi hardshell case.

Members ilikeguitar90 Posted March 6, 2012 Members Share Posted March 6, 2012 Yeah you have to be careful sometimes when buying used from GC. My local one right now has a used single cut Gibson Melody Maker with a p90 in the bridge in a tv yellow finish, but they list it as a Gibson Les Paul Jr and are asking $500 for it It honestly should be priced at $300-$350.
