OK, somebody over at Harmony-Central posted that they were in a Fender Strat ad in the Feb. ish of GP. I went to my copy of the March issue and darned if I'm not in a similar ad, for the new American Standard Tele. In each case, the ad has a background made up of a mosaic of hundreds of teeny tiny individual photos.

Anyhow, here's a portion of the right-hand page of the 2-page ad:

That's me right above the "T" in the word "the:"

Here's the pic they used:

Good thing someone else noticed themself in the other ad, I'd forgotten I sent my photo in and would never even have thought to look for it otherwise.

Amazing to think that all those pics were submitted right here on good ol' Fender.com, ain't it? Now they're all over the place.

The ad artists did a great job. But if you want to find a specific person in those ads, better have a magnifying glass! I got lucky because my pic was near the lettering and kind of stood out.

The "explore the mosaic" feature at Fender.com is pretty cool but so far it hasn't featured the mosaic (or part thereof) my pic is in.

Thanks again to Brad for the blog entry! I'm a legend in my own mind!

haha I found myself in the "explore the mosaic" feature on the site.

Unfortunately it appears that the background mosaic in the ads is not the exact same as the mosaic you can explore. You can only see a section of the mosaic in the explore feature, and I found the corresponding section in the adds, and my picture isn't there in the ads but some of the surrounding ones are.

Regardless, good luck and congrats to those who are in it and fortunate enough to find themselves.

EDIT: Take note, I have too much time on my hands. I've found myself in the mosaic twice.

And to the creator of this thread, congrats, you're in the bass add too.

What mag?

Thanks!

Yep, but if you submitted more than one, look around. I found both of my pictures incorporated in the different adds.

I didn't catch it in a mag. If you go to the site where the explore feature is, and click on the wallpapers, it's one of those.
