Hi! Can anyone confirm if this Eric Johnson strat is fake or legit?
It sounds good and plays really well. The case candies are not there anymore but
Im pretty much convinced that its a real thing but would like to get some opinions.

Appreciate it! Thanks!

Why do you have suspicions..?

Based on those pics alone: no obvious signs of fake, so I'd call it legit.

Casual glance indicates its ok so I agree.
1 pickup has odd stagger which a legit one has. Neckplate ok. General appearance in line with this model.
If still concerned contact fender with the serial. :D

Hey CROM .. guess you made up your mind by now

That is a genuine EJ .. all visible parts anyway .. Pup post stagger is exactly as specified .. no trem plate screw holes (both unique)

anyway .. stock it's a pretty noisy guitar by modern standards

The original wiring schematic grounded pot cases via contact with the P-guard plate

many owners (me too) add case to case ground wires, etc.

Quirky electronics .. but if you dial in your pickups (really, six screws & driver in hand!)

Very usable tones .. just .. somewhat noisy ..

not the worst thing ever .. I love mine

And get that plastic sheet off the pickguard .. sheesh

:D
