So I am asking if someone has this guitar or knows if this is normal. Find the date your guitar was made by simply supplying your serial number. The front of the headstock has 'Epiphone by Gibson' at the top and the Epiphone logo at the bottom. I checked everything, but that thing on headstock got me wondering. The serial number is 880509595 and it's located on a stick-on strip on the back of the headstock. I have had a few others Les Paul's, and if I remember correctly that didn't happen, the serial number I think was 'indented' in the guitar and it didnt seem like ink. And if I try to scrape a little bit, that ink comes of, which means that the number can disappear. Many '80s and early '90s serial numbers may follow a similar scheme, but may not include a factory ID code. The letter is fine, but the numbers, in their background I see a little of ink. Epiphone serial numbers are located on the back of the headstock. Since english is not my main language I dont know if this is the word I want to use. You can look up a serial number either in Gruhns Guide or run the number in the. But today, I started looking more closely and I noticed that at the back of the headstock where the serial number is, it seems that the numbers of the serial number were 'stamped'. I browsed here and many other forums just to see the little things and if I in fact had the real one.Įverything was fine. Just to check that everything was okay and that it wasn't a fake, I checked for all the signals that a fake usually has. For Epiphone serial numbers that begin with a letter(s), this list identifies the factory & country where produced: B - Bohmia Musico-Delicia (Czech Republic) BW - (China) C - Cort (Korea) CI - Cort (Indonesia) DW - DaeWon (China) EA - QingDao (China) Epiphone Acoustic ED - Dongbei (China) Chinese Dongbei means North-east. Yesterday I bought an Epiphone Les Paul Zakk Wylde in second hand.
