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!
