What version of Epiphone Les Paul is this?

[Mystery]

It looks like standard but doesn't say standard on the headstock.
Could it be Top plus model?
It only has Gibson on the truss rod cover.
It's listed for good price with Epiphone hard case so just thinking about it.

I think it's the Korean version of the "open book" headstock, made for the domestic markets over there.

Could be but the tuners are different.
So how's the price compared to US standard versions?
thanks

That's not an open book headstock...that's just a regular Epiphone headstock. The 1989 through 2003 Epiphone Les Pauls all had the "Gibson" truss rod covers like that. 1989 had the open book headstock, 1990 on had Epiphone's modern day dog ear headstock.

It is an Epiphone Les Paul Standard, made in Korea.
