It looks like a Fender custom T-8 to me. If only 3 were made, I've got one of the three. Only mine didn't fall in a flour barrel like the one you have pictured!

Erv,
A fella was going to sand it down and fix it up but he left town. I wonder if it really is a Fender?

Well, Erv, looks like you REALLY got a deal when I sold you that Custom. 
I think this is one of three that was used to remove aspestos. |

Forum member John Bechtel had the other two! 
Seriously, these things are pretty common. They're nice guitars if they've been cared for properly.

We had a guitar tech that was doing a restoration on it but he left town. These pictures were taken after the sanding.
Who could I get to finish the restroation?

| Well Gordon, I guess it really depends on how much you want to spend. Having said that do you want a total restoration or just make it play. Not an impossible task but a lot to be done.$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ |

Needs more sanding. (A lot more.)
Many chips are still visible, along with what appears to be a lot of the old finish. If you're just going to paint it black, that may be okay. However, if you're going to restain and then apply a clear finish, you've still got a lot of work to get down to the bare wood.
(By the way, the only "right" way to do it is to remove all the metal parts.) |

The hardware has been taken off so it can be sanded. Tomorrow Iam going to add a few more pictures of the striped down body. I think it is a homemade job. The pictures I found of a T-8 does not have the same configureation as this one. Nothing on the hardware of the body says Fender. I dont own this. It belongs to a customer. I have not had a chance to talk to him yet. I will tomorrow and will add pictures.
Thank you guys for responding. |

Two things:
1. They should not have let the cement dry on it, after it fell into the mixer.
2. Those galvanized pipe legs need to updated with nice copper plumbing.

| If you look closely you can see the date pencilled in the front neck. I believe this is a genuine Fender. Just needs a lot of TLC. I think the original had only three legs too. |
