If a Custom is what you *really* want and you're:
a. In no hurry (it sounds like you aren't) and
b. Are happy to consider Norlin-era examples or those which have had repairs (eg. headstock breaks)
...then it is definitely possible, given time and luck.

My Trading Feedback | You Bring The Band
Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youYou could get a strat?
Then you don't have to go through the whole owning a les paul thing!
As you have said, you are not likely to get a Custom, in good order, for around £1500, but no shortage of good Stds between £1200/1500 and my advice would be you'll get far more for your money with a good used example than new
I'd be a touch worried if one minute I'm thinking of a Strat the next a Les Paul - if you are confused and picking up mixed messages then the best advise is to try as many as you can in either 1 or 2 stores and see what works for you - I don't want that to sound patronizing, but it should help you know what you want if you try a few out - £1500 is not cheap/easy money to many, so spend wisely and more importantly spend it on what makes you happy - Your hands and ears are your best tools to asses what guitar work for you

Just because you're paranoid, don't mean they're not after youI'll go crazy and get 2
Then once my Gas returns I will probably buy another.
Ebony board, compound radius, long neck tenon, grovers, chambered.
Really nice guitars to play, I’ve had one from new for nearly 20 years, and loads of lesnpauls have come and gone but this is the only one that is staying forever.
Only four solid colours, Black, yellow, green and red, but really distinctive and just a a great les Paul.
They dont go for huge money either, a genuine alternative to standards if you get in with the looks.
