I think i picked up a good guitar
I bought it off my friend's brother for 40 bucks and a little bit of weed. It's a Yamaha RGX 1220J, I tried looking some shit up on it but everything is in japanese.
It's got a floating bridge on it, how hard would it be to make it a fixed bridge or a string thru? Just drill holes?

I think I almost have the tremelo figured out, I just got everything close to being in tune, locked the nuts at the top of the neck and kept on trying to fine tune the thing. It's not perfectly in tune but all the strings are within 30 dimes of each other

here's some pics, don't mind my stupid ass
i can't find much info on it. how do i adjust the action? the screw in front of the saddle under the string? also has anyone seen this guitar before? how about that tremelo? I don't think it's a floyd, but i want to know how much of a pain in the ass it's gonna be to search for parts for the bridge. i don't have a guitar amp so i gotta play it out of my bass amp but it plays pretty well and has a pretty pissa tone.
I'm gonna sand it and paint it black or white, i haven't decided which color yet. but what do you think?

i forgot to take a pic of the back, it's a neckthru, looks like a three piece body...it's pretty heavy, feels like it's pretty close to my bass in weight. i need new strings and some small stuff for it but she's ready to fuckin' thrash at a moment's notice

sand it but dont repaint it. replace the trem posts with original floyd rose parts, they will wear down and that thing will suck. you adjust the action primarily with those. be carefull not to strip the allen screws. and i hope those switches are for your low rider/
Don't quote me boy, 'cause i ain't said shit.

I saved an original floyd rose off my warlock but can't find the sumbitch anywhere. the guitar stays in tune pretty good for a no name floating bridge. I'll probably just take it to someone to have it put in
Ernie why do you advise against repainting it?
