Hi, guys!

I've just bought a white blonde/maple Fender Eric Johnson on reverb but the serial number shows a black/maple one. I emailed Fender and they told me that the guitar is a black/maple EJ made in 2015. I contacted the seller (which hasn't shipped the guitar yet) requesting for details (he did not specify in the ad the year). The guitar was modified for left hand use and he said he recently bought it from the guitarcenter.

I know, the easiest way to find out the truth would be to ask him to pull out the neck and take pictures, of both the neck and neck cavity, but, for now I just asked him to give me some pictures with the paperwork in the case

Can you give me an advice?

I'm attaching some pictures he gave me.

Sorry for the late answer, you've been a victim of the first post delay policy...

Anyways, based on those pics, IMHO, the guitar looks legit.
And, Fender isn't always right with the specs for a certain serial number.

It's also possible that the seller has two EJ strats, and decided that he preferred neck A with body B, and put the non preferred parts together to move on.

The pictured guitar is a righty strung for lefty, just in case anybody missed it, so it has been messed with.
Is this the same guitar? https://reverb.com/item/25130243-fender ... nded-lefty
