Yes. A good look shows clearly that the white area is water. The dark area is a person diving and as has already been said, I don’t see too many impressionable teenagers owning this guitar.

What is Fender thinking???

If you will excuse me now, I must go appear in a tortilla in Mexico.
If that’s the case they most likely can afford cocaine and would certainly not have needed Andy Summers to alert them to it’s existence and use.
The headstock looks like a swimmer photographed from below/underwater to me. To see it as a line of coke reminds me of the old joke about the perv who goes to a psychiatrist. The inkblots are brought out and the perv describes each of them in graphic detail of sordid debauchery. The psychiatrist explains to the perv that he is indeed disturbed to which the perv replies: "Me? You're the one with the kinky porn!"
I see this this guitar as a skewed sort of Where's Waldo/what's wrong with this picture specimen. We can pick any of the images and reimagine them in any context we want, even spin background stories to support them. After being spanked for an attempt at humor regarding the current state of journalism, I will refrain from any connection between the previous statement and the logical conclusion one could draw.

What I love is that someone was up in arms enough about it to make a post on the interwebs so he could gather like minded heretics to crowd around the offices in Corona with torches and pitchforks. If you don't like it or see something others don't, then don't buy one and quit trying to ruin something for others.
Also, you know this is a bass forum, right?

On the bright side, after buying the $12k guitar, your blow budget will be a bit tight.
You are mistaken sir
That is a pic of McGuyver diving into Stargate.
How the heck did Fender get that pic. It was suppose to be Top Secret
Andy Summers is also 76 years old. Very few people under age 40 will have heard of him.
It looks like cocaine to me because your introduction made me expect to see cocaine.
Maybe next time a similar issue comes up you could post a link or photo first, and provide the commentary afterwards so it doesn't colour our initial impressions.
It’s definitely cocaine, someone should call The Police!
I see the rear legs, hooves, and hindquarter of a deer fleeing south after knocking over someone’s blow.
I'm one of those few people.
I'd say in order of well knowns, for the Police it's Sting > Copeland > Summers
Also this thread needs some theme music.
Bass!
That won’t work because if the first member to post sees coke, then you’re right back where you are now.
A better strategy is to wait a couple days for everyone to respond, then do a “search this thread only” with the keywords of your choice, such as “young woman on beach playing Ernie Ball bass no coke”.
Who knows, maybe you’ll get a hit.
