Identification

so my old lady inherited a les paul from her uncle. i'm not convinced it's a custom like he said. hoping for some help ID'ing the axe. now just a fair warning he has butchered this guitar beyond belief with a router back in the 80's and i'm completely aware of what a shame it is. someday i'd like to spend some serious cash on getting it done up by a professional. pictures attached!

Hello and welcome to the forum!

Your guitar is definitely a legit Custom. I have serial numbers in my ledger for several Customs with the 700595XX number, including this one which is only two numbers away.



A little TLC and you will have a great guitar!!

I would agree and say that this looks to be a real custom. A friend of mine owns a 1978 custom and it is right in line with this one... minus the modifications of course.
