What is Fender thinking???

#163
IMO this instrument should be framed under glass and displayed in a rather dark place in a museum and I don't mean dark like dark knight. I mean dark as in absence of light. Ugly! That being said should young people be censored from hearing songs like Casey Jones by the Grateful Dead? Raise children in a protected bubble and as soon as they bust out they will try all the things that were kept from them. casey jones song you tube - Bing video

I never understood guitars that had graphics on them that could only be seen correctly if they are sitting on a guitar stand. Shouldn't people in the crown be able to see the visuals? Even the player can't see things right when they are playing it. I'm going to start putting bumper stickers on their sides on all my cars so that people have to hurt their necks trying to read it.

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

No .. the reference to the entire guitar is black and white photography .. monochrome. The headstalk is clearly that of bright light or a flash striking a wall or non-smooth (perhaps wet) surface .. the figure is a shadow and perhaps a model holding her arms up ( see the hands). Nothing at all to do with cocaine. For the same reason, I could see angels wings.
