SOLVED! Anyone know what this is?

Seems to be some sort of vintage import. Full size pots and funky on/off toggles and funky trem route. RSTG stamped in the neck pocket.

Any ideas?

Kahler Bridge cavity I think, very similar to the JAP Charvel model 4 guitars

Lol....I think you are right. Was just looking at kahler routes and that seems to be correct. Thanks
It's not a model 4...cavity route and single coil pickup rings. The rings look quite odd really. I forsee alot of Google image search in my future.lol
Westone maybe? Idk

No...it's something from the mid 80s. Definitely japanese.
Has a gotoh humbucker. Switches resemble a Greco from that era but I looked thru all the catalogs and no match.
Thanks tho

After hours of searching I've finally figured it out. It's a

BC Rich NJ Series ST-III Made in Japan - 1985 Kahler Flyer​

Love mini switches for turning the pickups on/off. I have an Aria Pro carved top superstrat with them.

Thank god you only have the body, that headstock is about as fugly as can be made.

Yep... pretty much. A guy had two bodies with pickups and a Ltd ec-50. All for 25 dollars. Enough parts to make a playable Ltd I will gift to my 11 year old nephew that wants to learn to play. Grandma had suggested I could give him one from my collection ...give the kid one of my MIJ Ibanez guitars...old lady must be smoking crack.
