Fender Musical Instruments Corp. has announced the launch of the Bruno Mars Stratocaster guitar to honor multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, producer and a fourteen-time Grammy Award winner Bruno Mars.
The limited edition Bruno Mars Signature Stratocaster with highly optimized features has been created keeping the modern player in mind.
“I don’t think of myself as a guitar player. I’m more of a frustrated songwriter. Every song is like a puzzle you have to solve, and a good guitar can bring something out of you that can help take you to the finish line. That’s what I wanted from this guitar,” Mars says about the guitar. “It was also important to have a workhorse that I could depend on for performing live and writing in the studio, whether it be rhythm or lead.”
“We wanted to fashion a guitar that shows Fender’s respect for the artists marking today’s musical hall of fame, as well as displays Bruno Mars’s supernova qualities,” said Justin Norvell, EVP of Product at FMIC. “Bruno has been a tried and true Fender player since the early days of his career and we’re thrilled to include his signature among our roster. Between the all-new finish to the custom-voiced pickups, we’re confident this will be one of our largest signature launches to date.”
