Guitar identification help needed please

Well I've spent all evening surfing and haven't yet found a G&L or anything else with the humbucker setup like this other than a cheapo Yamaha kit, but this has a really nice maple neck and beautiful thick rosewood fretboard on it which would probably be worth more than the walmart yamaha kit guitar by itself. Plus pickguard etc and those old school pot knobs are just like my old Fender used as well as the layout location of them. More G&L research tonight it looks like......

You can tell by the head stock. I am going to say no to G&L. Looks more like Cort. The O was the only thing of the name left on it.

Ditto. Definitely not a G&L.

Could be a cort:



Could be a Kramer or Fernandes:



The Yamaha headstocks were a little more pointy in the 80's and a little more round in the more recent production.

Pop off the pickguard and see whats going on under there, also take off the neck and check the neck pocket.

I can tell by the cheap "box" tuners that this is an import guitar, likely Korean, likely late-80s to mid-90s. Probably a Cort, Johnson, Hondo or something along those lines. They one piece neck and the 1 volume/1 tone config is also indicative of that era of import "super-strats".

My motto is if it plays good and sounds good enjoy it!
