From "Uptown Funk" to his suave Silk Sonic project, many around Sweetwater have found inspiration in the music of Grammy-winning singer/songwriter/producer Bruno Mars. And the Fender Bruno Mars Signature Stratocaster is the perfect instrument to bring out your singer/songwriter flare. Crafted with an ash body, maple neck, and maple fingerboard, the Bruno Mars Strat boasts classic Fender performance with vintage panache. It offers a trio of custom Bruno Mars single-coil Strat pickups that replicate his 24K Magic sound. Further, Fender set this guitar on the path to glory with a 2-point synchronized tremolo, 5-position pickup selector blade, deluxe cast sealed locking tuners, and more. This smooth-singing Strat is finished off with a gorgeous heirloom nitrocellulose lacquer finish that harnesses the modern-day soul of this guitar with a retro vibe.

Classic Fender performance with a shinning personality





This glowing guitar was built to replicate the tones and channel the spirited soul of Bruno Mars. Fender knew they had the resources to create a worthy instrument that would appeal not only to Mars’s legions of fans, but also to everyday singer/songwriters. From its familiar and time-honored Stratocaster body to its comfortable Custom “C” neck, the Bruno Mars Signature Stratocaster is a smooth-playing axe that’s sure to delight. With the maple fingerboard, Fender outfitted this beauty with a compound radius that spans 9.5 to 12 inches and sports 21 medium-jumbo stainless steel frets. Other features like a bone nut, deluxe cast sealed locking tuners, 2-point synchronized tremolo with pop-in tremolo arm, and bent steel saddles outfit this Strat for exceptional performance. Meanwhile, the heirloom gold hardware and nitrocellulose lacquer finish contribute to a stunning look that perfectly complements this Strat’s unique color!

Diamond-certified single-coils





The Fender Bruno Mars Signature Stratocaster certainly looks immaculate on the outside, but how does this axe sound? Sweetwater would diamond-certify the custom Bruno Mars Strat single-coil pickups if we could! These three single-coils accurately reproduce Mars’s otherwordly tone ? a little vintage, a little modern, but completely infectious. Plus, the bridge pickup's noiseless design means you get all of that Stratocaster goodness you want without the persistent hum that can accompany other single-coils. The Bruno Mars Signature Strat also boasts a 5-position blade, master volume, and two master tone knobs, putting the power in your hands to conjure the perfect tonal concoction.
