I recently bought a 1970s Aria black Les Paul Custom; number on back plate is 704184. Looks like an AE 325 3xx, but the pick guard is mirrored and hardware is silver. I'm going to try an attach a photo--any info would be greatly appreciated. Great forum.

Here are a number of photos of the guitar;any assistance would be appreciated in determining the model, year, or any other information. I purchased this guitar at an auction in rural Virginia because it was in good shape, an aria, and a really good deal--plus, it's cool. Thanks

Better pics would be great but I believe you're correct on model. The pickguard and hardware look to be replacements.

Sharp close-ups of everything you question. Include one of the neck plate.
