you are right about the year... as for maple tops, tell me one epiphone LP
model, apart from Japanese, that have a maple top. None of them do. It's a
well known fact, check out the epiphone forum for more info. They have
maple veneers, a wafer thin slice of maple that has zero effect on tonal
properties of a guitar.
If you've taken pickups out of an epi LP and noticed that there was a slab
of wood glued as the top, it's either alder or mahogany. Epi korea/china
never has used real maple tops.

I have an Epi LP Studio and I love it. It looks good, plays good, and
sounds good. I had a Gibson LP Custom before that and the craftsmanship on
the Epi, in my opinion, is just as good as the Gibson. Does anybody know
how I can research the history of my guitar through the ser. number?

I know Gibsons serial number is the 1st and 5th number. Unfortunity your
Epiphone Les Pauls is mass produced oversees and won't hold any value on
the market. They are good guitars though!
