Epiphone Serial Numbers Identification

Hi, It would be much easier if you posted the serial number then I/we could look at it and provide info for you; however, here are some general guidelines: From '58-'69 hollow body guitars had the serial number on a label inside the guitar, prefexed by the letter 'A' plus four digits for the first four years (57 to 60). Beginning in 1960 the number was pressed into the back of the headstock. Between 1970 and 1983 the Epiphone was manufactured in Japan and the serial numbers became unreliable for dating purposes. Gibson labels were Orange and imported labels were Blue.

During the 80's production began in Korea and again serial numbers become unreliable. In 1993 the numbers became more reliable, for example: A3 would be 1993 as would A93.

During the 90's 'SOME' Ephiphones were produced in America by Gibson and they follow Gibson serial number identification rules, for example: YDDDYNNN The first and fifth number is the year of manufacture; the second, third, and fourth would be the day of the year and the last three would be that number guitar of the day. 90023514; this guitar was built on Jan 2 (second day of the year)of 1993 at the Nashville plant (5)and it was the 14 guitar built for that day. There is more to it than this but again, if you post as much info as you have I'm sure we can date and price the guitar. Post the serial number and model number/name and we can better help you.

I bought mine from some one and the top half of the arm part where the tuners go is missing but it did have a metal tag with a white sticker i giess on it in the case with the guitar that says LP25TS..?

And that is the number for sure I can see it clearly. So its only a six digit code and I really haven't had any luck in tracking down a year but I do believe it is a les paul.

Can some one plz help me identify it? I do not know if tho is a serial number or a model number or something else. Hand Reflexology Chart Pdf.

Is the serial # on a white sticker near the end of the headstock? I.e., possibly a 'used' or '2nd' if that is the case.

Although, I've seen Sheratons from the 80's with stickers instead of stamps. I believe they are from the Samick Korea plant.

Or is # actually stamped on the headstock? Because the newer epis are coming from China with no letters. A number beginning with 10 would be a 2010. But I don't believe that is the case here, because of the 'Gibson' on the TRC.

That's my 2 cents.There's some some real knowledgeable folks on epi's over at the epi forum who could probably tell for sure.
