Too many mods to know what you have, and the pics are not good enough to spot the usual red flags

also, it looks like a 3 pc maple cap, which also casts some doubt in my mind.

but hey,, I'm not an expert,, may be ok.

check the truss rod, and see what is needed to adjust the neck.   A 5/16 hex wrench is the right answer

There are a lot of mods for sure. I’m leaning more towards it being a real one. But I’m only going based on the serial number year (1981) and that chainsaw case with that orange/brownish interior seems to be of that time period. The headstock looks real (based on the shape), however in the late ‘70’s/early ‘80’s the lawsuit guitar game was on point….In my opinion, it’s real….
