Could you please kindly tell me, is this guitar legit or not, before I made a payment?
I believe it is best to have a strike on ebay, than to buy a fake one.

I know that pickups are replaced and I could ask the seller for additional photos if needed. Thank you in advance!

Look legit to me.

Crafted in Japan on the neck close to body is ok but serial number should write there too.

It's there, stratele......in gray numerals, very faint.

The guitar's pickguard is not original, nor is it a correct replacement. The plastic parts seem to be changed as well. All else seems to be genuine.
