Fender Launches Bruno Mars Signature Stratocaster
A limited-edition instrument that celebrates the career of multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer Bruno Mars.About creating the guitar, Mars said “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.” He added, “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.”Fender Bruno Mars Signature Stratocaster – Mars Mocha
