Cool older Epiphone Genesis Standard in Wine Red from the late 70's/early '80's. The serial number is 0900028 if that helps anyone date it. I bought it as part of a recent bulk storage locker purchase. It is overall in excellent shape for its age and my tech just this week gave it a professional setup. neck straight. All electronics are original and work perfectly.

Tuners were upgraded. Has Grovers and can see original holes. 

NOT a museum piece. One major ding on top - see pics - thru finish. One smaller ding and a couple of scratches. Buckle rash on back and scratch near strap button on back. Couple of minor headstock dings. 

from wikipedia:

Three Genesis Series models (GN-CST, GN-DLX, GN-STD) first appeared in the 1979 Epiphone catalog and were produced in Taiwan until 1981. The 1980 price list indicates two additional Genesis Series models were offered briefly; The GN student model, and the GN-BA bass. All models of the Genesis (except the bass) shipped with black open-coil humbucker pickups with three height-adjustment screws, and not plated pickup covers with two height-adjustment screws as shown in the Epiphone specification sheets. It is not known whether the student model guitar "The GN" went into production; no known examples have been identified. It is rumored that Genesis guitars were made in Japan, but this is unsubstantiated. Gibson states that Genesis guitars were made in Taiwan.

The Genesis series was designed by Jim Walker, then Director of Marketing for Gibson. They were prototyped in Japan, but due to cost considerations were manufactured at a factory owned by Pearl Drums in Taichung, Taiwan.

Guitar will be shipped in a basic gigbag.
