I've been trying to figure out what this guitar is.

the number says made in Nashville in 1988.

and the neck is also stamped not for resale.

was left at my place with a broken headstock for years. I finally the carpentry work on it now trying to ID it

The closest thing I can think of is a Sonex. but I dont think the head stock is the same.. you sure that headstock came on that guitar?

 

at first I thought a marauder.. but those had a Flying V styled headstock..

Looks like a modified LP Studio Lite; they were made for a very brief time (I think if I remember right) around 86 or 87? Yours looks like a modded version of the single pickup version, with the tremolo option shown in the brochure here (I think the tremolo was by Steinberger.)

 

Scroll down about midway on this page for 2 photos of them:
