Help Identifying a vintage Epiphone acoustic

[PatrickTeaneck]

Hi all,
New to the group, and looking for a little help identifying a guitar I am planning on buying from a friend. I don't have closeup pics of the label (otherwise I would have this info), but was wondering if anyone could give me some guidance on what model this is? Can't seem to find anything like it online. It's a dreadnaught, has the neck Volute and classical style open gear tuners, dot inlays as well as a square (Martin-style, though plain and black) headstock with "EPI" on headstock, no truss rod cover on headstock. Black pick guard with "E" on it and bottom of the pick guard is more flat rather than rounded. Lastly, from the photo I have I can see there is an oval label inside that says "Epi", but can't make out anything else. Sorry, can't figure out how to attach photos.
Thanks!

Welcome to the AGF! Hope this helps:
There are three ways to post pictures here, depending on where the source picture resides. If it is on your mobile device, the AGF APP is very easy to use and works well with both Apple and Android systems. The AGF app is built on the Tapatalk application. Because of a recent change in their app structure, the AGF app now requires charter membership to post pictures. Nonmembers can still post pictures here for free using the Tapatalk app.

If your pictures are at a third-party host, see this thread. Many people are no longer using Photobucket because of the price increase, but there are many others available.

The AGF appreciates the financial support of its members. One of the most valuable benefits members receive is the ability to upload pictures directly from one's computer. These directions are in the FAQs... click HERE.

Charter members may post their pictures as attachments by...

1. Ensure file is jpg or jpeg, no larger than 600x600, and 1MB (the system will automatically resize larger images in some, but not all, cases).

2. Click on the paperclip icon or scroll below the edit box to "Additional Options" and click, "Manage Attachments."

3. Click on "Choose File." Browse to the location of the file on your computer, hit "Open," and then hit "Upload."

4. Click the "Close this window" text.

5. Click the paperclip icon again and click on the attachment that shows in the drop down menu. This will insert the image inline.

To manage your attachments go to User Control Panel--Miscellaneous--Attachments. The attachment system also works with mobile browsers, if one prefers not to use the AGF app.

In summary, charter members have three ways to post pictures... managing attachments directly from your computer, the AGF/Tapatalk apps or a third-party host like Imgur. If you are a registered user, you have two ways to post pictures... the Tapatalk app or a third-party host. PM me if you need more help.

Sounds a lot like an ED-100.

The only guitars I can think of which had the "EPI" on the headstock and label were built in the mid-1990s. So it was built in China but before Gibson opened a dedicated Epiphone factory in Qingdao.

There were some, like the ED-100, which were made in Indonesia.
