Cant see the head stock clear but this looks like a Hondo 780 series explorer. The head stock shape and the control plate style and placement are dead up the same as the Hondo Explorer copy. That type wood grain thru the body is a good grab. I have seen a few Hondos like this. Its been said here before how the manufacturers of japanese guitars would sell to any label. It does look like a PCM style head and logo.
I have a 780 and it is one of my main players since I got it last year. The neck is a lot thicker than any of my Electras but it works for some reason. It sustains well and the neck is fast to be as thick as it is.

Heres a 780 series, with 2 humbuckers and tremolo, some only have one humbucker.
