This is an Epiphone Les Paul Standard finished in the classic Heritage Cherry Sunburst.
This model is Epiphone’s flagship licensed version of the iconic Gibson Les Paul, offering the classic look and tone at a more accessible price point.
Body and Neck: It features a solid mahogany body capped with a maple veneer top, paired with a mahogany set neck (glued in, not bolted on). This combination is responsible for the signature heavy, warm, and sustaining Les Paul tone.
Fretboard: The fretboard is rosewood (or pau ferro on more recent models) with classic trapezoid pearloid inlays.
Hardware and Electronics: It is equipped with two Epiphone Alnico Classic humbucking pickups, controlled by the standard Les Paul layout: two volume knobs, two tone knobs, and a 3-way toggle switch. The bridge is a standard Tune-o-matic with a Stopbar tailpiece.
That is excellent news, and thank you for the clarification! If that crack is strictly limited to the maple veneer or the polyurethane finish—and does not penetrate into the solid mahogany body block—that completely changes the prognosis.
Because the heavy-duty Tune-o-matic bridge and Stopbar tailpiece posts anchor deeply into the dense mahogany core of the guitar, a superficial crack in the top veneer means the structural integrity is completely uncompromised. The guitar will hold its setup, intonation, and tuning stability perfectly fine.
With this updated information, the guitar is absolutely not a "Parts/Project" instrument. However, because the blemish is in a highly visible area right on the top of the guitar, it would likely be graded in "Fair" to "Good" condition by most buyers.
Currently, used Epiphone Les Paul Standards from this era in Good to Mint condition generally sell for between $288 and $481.
Given the visible cosmetic flaw, you can expect this specific guitar to price at the lower end of that spectrum, typically holding a value between $250 and $300.
