Bruno Mars Stratocaster®, Maple Fingerboard, Mars Mocha

That mocha heirloom finish does look awesome. Who's got 24 karat treasures to burn on a limited edition?

I didn't even know Bruno played guitar lmao
Specs are cool though. '70s aesthetics but with a 2-point trem, compound radius, and stainless steel frets.
Also neat contours on the lower cutaway + neck joint

 

[Strobe]

Great specs. Great color. Some real changes on the contours. That said, $3k. Woof. It's nitro so I get it, but not a price that would entice me.

I remember seeing one of his concerts on TV during a late new year evening and was shocked that he can throw down.

I think the guitar looks great and is a cool idea but I didn't know Bruno played. I only remembered him playing guitar for a Prince tribute one time and it was very clear he was trying hard not to mess up. It looked more like someone taught him to play and he was trying to get it right, not someone who actually played guitar.

Either way I don't care. This guitar suits him and is definitely welcomed.

JFC $3k for a non CS strat? I can get a Chinese knockoff for less than $300!

Cool guitar but I guess I'm old now because $3k for any strat is pretty much nope. One could have their own custom built for less. - Fender and Gibson seems to be for collectors and others with money to burn now rather than people with common sense. For people who buy based on looks not what's better it seems. I keep forgetting most guitarsts are collectors and not players.
- For $3k it's just stupid imo. I'd rather have that pink Squire with the Floyd on it for $400 I saw a while ago, replace the pickups and hardware, go on vacation, take out an escort for a night, buy an ounce of kind, pay my car payment and get another pedal to check out than this thing. It's an awesome guitar but not $3k awesome imo. I do like it though It looks awesome. It's got the big heastock too so that's cool.

Specs are nice. Vintage style rod and nitro, but SS frets and compound radius board. If I can whine a little, I wish it had a 6-screw trem.

 

[Crungy]

I shouldn't be but I am shocked how many didn't know he played and I'm not even a big Bruno fan. He's really talented and I think he's deserving of a signature guitar. I'm kind of surprised he didn't get ones years ago but as we're seeing he isn't exactly known for playing guitar lol

 

[Yul Brynner]

I thought this dude got in trouble because he was beating the shit out of Rihanna when they were together. Now he gets a signature deal with Fender. Why does Fender hate women?

...that's Chris Brown. Lmfao

Damn. I showed it to my wife and she told me he was beating Rihanna and I thought I had a golden opportunity to stir some shit.

Gold strats will always be cool. Price is too steep for me (4k cdn) but its a cool guitar. I have tried to love strats but alas I only love the neck pickup

 

[somethingsomething]

I love reading the TGP thread whenever a non-geriatric or non-blooz guitarist gets a sig. It's always a bunch of boomers (and, presumably, ultra-lame Gen Xers) complaining about how you shouldn't be allowed to have a signature guitar if you weren't born before fucking Leo Fender.

Cool guitar, but way too expensive.

 

[Metal Mortician]

Expensive, yes, but I welcome the idea of more people learning to really play an instrument again. If seeing Bruno with a Fender inspires more kids to play than Abbath, who am I to say otherwise.

Side note: spec wise this looks good! Charvel rear horn contour, 2 point trem, SS frets. Bruno must have tried LOTS in Fender’s stable to come up with these specs. (Or said ‘I want a modern Charvel with 70s Fender looks’)

 

[cardinal]

An Ultra Luxe is $2600? Sure this is a few more expensive. But it's so much more appealing. Just having a headstock not randomly painted black has to be worth at least that much.

Wait you mean this guy? And now he has a signature Fender!?

 

[Big Dumb Bitch]

Bad ass. I will be purchasing one immediately.

 

[Lemonbaby]

WOOOOW!



It's a Strat.
