Hello everybody.

I'm the fourth owner of an early eric johnon candy red stratocaster (SN : EJ0417X).

I got it since some months now, but looking pictures on the internet I have serious doubt about the case. I have an original fender black case (this one : http://www.musicstore.de/fr_FR/EUR/-/art-GIT0011636-000?campaign=PSM/shopzilla) but it seems that EJ were sold only with blonde case. The last owner certifies that it was sold with the guitar.

I saw only one other EJ with black case on the internet, on an ad, and the seller certifies it's a first hand and was sold with the black case.

So was there some EJ sold with black case or not ?

Thanks a lot for your help.

My EJ case is blonde Tolex, with black leather end caps and black acrylic-pile interior. I've never seen that particular instrument shipped with any other permutation.

Scratching my head over why the fourth owner of a used guitar is worrying whether the case is original. How would the third owner know if it was original? Does he have a solid paper trail? As long as the case is in good shape and protects the guitar, what difference does it make?

Agree with above post.... if case is good, it's all good. If not, you should have done better homework before buying. Enjoy the great EJ Strat.

That said, when I bought my EJ from GM friend who ran a GC store, when pulling the case from the back, Blonde case was gone = his staff gave it wth another guitar/wrong guitar, so he gave me a new FCS Brown case and all was good by me....it's a case, it protects, etc.

Enjoy the great guitar.
