What is Fender thinking???

[Chrisk-K]

I’m wondering why Fender chose a Stratocaster when Andy Summers is very well known to play a Telecaster…?

Andy has played his Strat more often than his Tele since the Police disbanded.

'Tis very like a whale, methinks!

Unless I am missing something, there’s a very clear reference to cocaine on the headstock of this guitar.

Riiiiiiight

Anyway. I'm guessing they were thinking "I bet there are a dozen Police fanatics who will drop $12k on a custom Andy Summers guitar."

I might add, I don't usually care for signature instruments. But if you're going to do one, that's the way to do it. Otherwise, a sunburst and scrubbing off some of the finish? ***snore***

Great taste in camera gear. IIRC that body/lens combo goes for close to 10K already.

That's not coke.

Dramatically overpriced, the lot of those Leicas. I've owned a few, and some friends have, too. Nice cameras, but Leica is seriously banking on their name, have been for a few decades, now. Starting with the M6 they have cheapened the parts quality inside the camera, severely.

Won't someone please think of the young people?

Ya know Huey Lewis was kidding, right?

Young people A)don’t have that kind of scratch, B)don’t know or care who Andy Summers or the Police is/was, and C)play guitars

 

[Michedelic]

What I see is a person raising both hands, and a burst of light behind. But hey: Rorschach, right?

I see myself buried alive in an avalanche of the endless void of life’s futility. But that’s just me.

Someone's got their mind on a big pile of the grit!

I like it

It’s baking soda left over from the CA glue headstock crack repair.

Folks at Gibson see an infringement of the LP design.

It’s whatever you want to see. My grandpa would see baking flour spilled on the headstock of his new bass, and he’d yell at my Grandma about it.

 

[HardNHeavy]

you'd need more than coke to understand that mess of a design choice imo

 

[Diamond_Dave]

First, it’s not cocaine, and second, it IS rock and roll, which is pretty much the music of sex and drugs.

 

[Michedelic]

Looks like a bad decoupage job.

 

[-Asdfgh-]

Even if it was a pile of blow, this is an over $12,000 guitar. It will not be laying on the bed of a teenager.

For $12,000 I'd expect Andy Summers to come round and play it for me.

HAHAHA Now I'm interested on how your mind went directly to a mirror of blow! I see someone diving into water shot from beneath.

Sorry, I was waiting for the cookies to bake, and picked up the guitar...
