How do I know what model I have?

Sorry, total newb question here, please don't lynch me.

I've been playing Les Pauls for years, but realized I don't actually know much about them. I was wanting look online for info about my guitar, but didn't know how to go about telling what model I have.
It is an Epiphone, but has Gibson written on the head-stock. I've searched online, but could find nothing on it.

Re: How do I know what model I have?

I have no idea, this is a wild guess, but probably an MIK or MIJ.
The "Gibson" logo is written on the TRC, I'm guessing?

Pics would be the best but also saying the color would help a bit.

Re: How do I know what model I have?

Why would someone buy something and not know what it is he's buying....

I wonder if he'd like to buy a Mercedes....

Leave George Lynch out of this, he doesn't know what model it is!

Re: How do I know what model I have?
