That serial number does not match any Epiphone databases. However poor records were kept at some Epi factories in Korea.
The number does match a Gibson however , made at the Nashville Plant, TN, USA on September 17th, 2005.
The serial number does not give the model. They were not assigned that way.
If actually a Gibson, it would sell at anywhere US$1500 to 2500, depending on condition, sub-model, and finish. Try matching it to any 2005 GLP sold here in the past.
Go to this site and find a guitar with the same configuration of controsl, pickups, etc as yours to see typical diagram. With CAREFUL inspection and good lighting often you can see where the wire broke from.
You need to adjust the controls for the nano on the control cavity plate on the back of the guitar the way you want them first. Here is a link to a simplified explanation:http://www2.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/Les-Paul/Epiphone/Les-Paul-Standard-Ultra-II.aspx A better explanation should be in the manual but I don't think they did as good of a job as they should have.
I believe the top front is volume for the front/neck pickup...the top rear is for the rear/bridge pickup and the other two are tone knobs for the front and rear pickups.
If you are on a limited budget then get a standard Epiphone Les Paul. The Custom is not much better. If you have a little more to spend then I recommend getting a new or used Gibson Les Paul Studio.
Narrowing down which guitar to buy is completely opinion-based. You need to try multiple guitars to find one you like best since they all feel a little different.
The controls should be setup in pairs (as long as the electronics haven't been modified. The two closest to the pickups are the volumes and the other two are the tone controls. The top knob set should be your neck pickup and the bottom set is for the bridge.
