thats what I thought but compared to any other honey burst finishes, this burst is much darker.

My first thought was a sunburst...but I'm certainly no expert. It's definitely not a tobacco burst, and if it's not a honey burst, I'm not sure what's left.
Nice looking guitar. I have an lp studio and I love it. My strat is feeling lonely.

The color is called 'Faded Iced Tea'.
I've always been a solid color (Gold Top!) or translucent fan but if I tended towards a 'burst of some sort, it would be that color. Has a nice hue to it.

Congrats on the score! $150 is a steal!
I have the same guitar and it's a Honey Burst, yours might be too. I modded it with some aftermarket pickups, changed the knobs and I took off most of the polyurethane shine, it was too "lollypop" for my tastes! It has a nice Satin look to it now. Oh and I did my very first fret job on it!
One question though:What's that written on the Truss Rod Cover? Mine says "Les Paul Standard".

mine says "Gibson" on the trust cover. I looked up the serial number and its from 1991 and made in Korea. I gotta say after I cleaned it up and replaced the control nobs (they didint work) it sounded absolutely amazing. even comparable to a gibson les paul standard. the guy I bought it from even gave me a hard shell case with it and 4 pairs of Ernie ball super slinkys! best 150$ iv ever spent.

Made in Korea and Made in Japan Epi's are highly valued and much sought after amongst Epiphone players! Congrats!
Enjoy and Rock On! :D
