i'm not much into his music at all, but i gotta give props to bruno mars for all the love he showed fender this morning. his bass player had a p-bass, and the guitarist had a strat. the way they were positioned with the camera, both guitars were visible pretty much the whole time, and on the close ups of bruno you could practically read the 2 headstocks in the background. it was a ton of national product placement for fender. nice job bruno

I'm willing to bet he has nothing to do with that to be fair. More likely the band play them because as we know they are fantastic instruments!

He's a good writer - glad to see him performing now as well, and his band is one of the tightest bands around today that I've heard lately. I think they've always used Fender gear too.

His music is not really my thing, but his band have the moves...

Bruno Mars - Locked Out of Heaven - Live

Un-offensive pop music is a rarity these days. Hats of to him!

Talent, Bruno has to spare. His stage set-up reminds me of Amy Winehouse act, smart choice. Fiesta p-bass guitar, couldn't see the Strat though.

I had seen a video on Fender of Bruno Mars promoting Fender guitars (in this one, it was a Stratocaster). It showed him simply playing the guitar, as well. He can actually play the instrument, which is extremely appreciated in today’s climate of pop music.

Though I don’t really follow his music much, I do have a newfound respect for him as an artist after having seen the Fender video.
