Epiphone LP Goldtop

[Sam SG]

So a freind of mine has hanging on his wall an Epiphone LP Goldtop.
Thing never gets played.
Anyways it is a second I believe as it is factory stamped used on the back of the head.
The tuners were replaced with I believe planet waves lockers and it has an unknown roller bridge.
Pickups are a weird set of humbuckers that have a one peace flat plastic bobbin or cover plate.
What would this axe be worth? Perhaps minus the pickups?
Im thinking on making an offer for it. I have a Gibson 490r/t set here and my cheap acoustic has grovers i could swap over. And maybe can the bridge for a knockoff Bigsby.

What year is it? And what did it cost new?

No idea. Its been hanging on the wall 5yrs that I know of and he got it used. So maybe 10yrs?
I dont wanna be a lowballer. Just figuring if it aint worth a ton might be a cool project.
Not a huge LP fan( just sold my LP classic) but on the cheap might be cool to have one again.

epi lp standard? a buddy of mine just bought one for $400 thats is pretty good shape, if this is one is a second, its worth less than that.
