What is Fender thinking???

[DJ Bebop]

Why does it matter if the op points it out, or the first poster replies and points it out? And had the op wrote “ I think I see an image of a fetus on this guitar headstock”, there wouldn’t even be a first reply because no one would care. I certainly wouldn’t care because I don’t play guitar anymore.

There something wrong with the concept of a Leica not having the red dot... but the guitar does.

There may be a red index dot on the lens. As the theme of this M10 is Black & White, I see no issue with not having a large red dot on the body.

There have many special edition Leicas over the decades with many special features, so, no red dot is not a big deal, really.

I know it’s just anecdotal, but the last time I saw a picture of a fetus, it was time start selling guitars, not buying them.

Even if it was cocain, so what? I I don't think that a guitar is the influence where one says: Sure now cocain!

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

Wasn't it Summers that chose it?

 

[cnltb]

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

for 12,000 I want Michaek Landau...at least.

$$$$$$$.

I won't pretend to know what Fender were thinking, but the fact that it's got a forum full of bass players talking about a guitar suggests it's a shrewd marketing move if nothing else.

Never saw cocaine there. I guess cocaine users can somehow see cocaine there.

Nah. I did a lot of coke back in the day. It was the 80's after-all.. All I see is someone diving into the water.

 

[J_Bass]

If you believe the popular conspiracy theory, that song has a hidden meaning - it's about a person diving into water.

Ahahahahah!

 

[Tim Skaggs]

Unless I am missing something, there’s a very clear reference to cocaine on the headstock of this guitar. Seems a little irresponsible given how many young people are attracted to Fender guitars. Invalid Link Removed

I can see a raven, not a rabbit.

Can a Dewey Cox Signature model be far behind?

 

[Slater]

Wasn't it Summers that chose it?

My guess would be that a marketing team leader chose it.

I'll re watch the video in which he talks about it.( if I remember correctly.)

Excuse my ignorance but; Who is she and how is she relevant here?

There have been many regular Leicas over the decades without the red dot logo, more so without than with. But the irony is the iconic red Leica 'dot' does not appear on the camera, but we have the suggestion of one on the guitar.

If I try hard enough I can see a dog’s head. Or is it a pony. Maybe a unicorn? That’s it, a unicorn farting cocaine!

You know, that’s the most original visual I’m going to have this day.

 

[wmhill]

The answer to the first part of the question is the only thing fender is ever thinking- CA$H. An overpriced signature guitar that is priced out of reach of all but the most well-to-do fans. As for the cocaine headstock? That is really a reach to see that.

 

[swink]

If you buy this guitar, you can't pay for coke, so you can always drown yourself.... that's the submissive message I get....

I've heard Gibson is going to produce a Keith Richards sig. version.: a white Les Paul with a small black spot on the head-stock.

 

[_Some Dude]

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!

I’m not going to lie.... I had to Google who Copeland was.
