Epiphone Les Paul standard cant find anything on this guitar please help!

[Frantic]

Bought this guitar Friday and I cant find anything other than year and where it was made from what research I've done Epiphone never made a blue sunburst any info from you guys would help elp!

Try "Transparent Blue Burst"

 

[RegularJim]

Looks like a Standard with Flame Top. If everything is original, I believe it will have the Alnico Classic pickups without coil splitting.

Nice guitar!

Took the pickguard off looks alot better in my opinion so you guys dont believe it's a blue sunburst then?

That's a beauty ! If you can't find its color on any Epiphone document, it's probably a special run for a store.

Much much better. Would be even more without the toggle chip and with black pup rings. What I did to my Ultra.

Edit ... and of course, black knobs.

Re-edit ... top hat for the black knobs.

Re re edit ... I'm done

Thanks guys I was told it was a special run for a store I'm not sure. Its beautiful and goes along nicely with my sg 400 pro

So you get to name the color yourself. Be inventive.
Goes along nicely you say, but how does it play ?

I don't even have to see a picture of the guitar to know that it looks better without the floating pickguard.

I'm OK with the switch and pickup rings, but I would toss the amber witch hats for white/cream speed knobs.

It plays like the best guitar I've ever owned other than my 400

Nice! I had a blue burst Standard for a while. Good instrument, but I didn’t use it enough to justify keeping.
