"Can't get no fancy notes on my blue guitar" . . .
Yeah, blue is odd, but I'll get one.

 

What song is that from. It bothers me now I can't recall it. 

[sweetsurrender]

Oooohh!  ...I will buy the blue one now for sure!!!    Thanks yontwocrows!!!

Gonna have to order at least one of these unique Blue Strats but will wait until the set lists materialise.....

[yontwocrows]

They can paint the sticks in whatever colour they want and I'm sure Mark has played a guitar in that colour 
But more important is the content of the sticks not their colour, let's hope the band is on fire.
Btw the blue guitar i posted was used on some stuff of the LOG Album, i suppose the picture is from that period. The fabulous Ingo has written something about it here : http://www.mk-guitar.com/2008/09/29/japanese-vintage-guitars-the-situation-in-the-late-70ies-early-80ies/

The marketing folk will love hearing this!

It's perhaps supposed to represent the new blue Pensa but they only have one design, hence the blue Strat design.

Yes, changing the shape would be far too expensive. I think the marketing guys don't think deelpy about it, but I love the blue Pensa. First i was irritated by the colour, but you can't get it out of your head. Its a very attractive one, isn't it?

That's a blue Fernandez with Seymour Duncan pickups. Mark used it around the time of Love over Gold, I think on Infidels (e.g. "I and I" ?)  and Local Hero (e.g. "Smooching"??). John Suhr once told me that some of his favourite MK guitar sounds were played with that guitar.
(BTW, you will soon find an almost identical guitar (a "Blackie" ) in my MK guitar shop at http://mk-guitar.com/shop/)

Mark always liked blue guitars (the blue Schecter Dream Machine that Hal Lindes played on stage was also his), and I heard that he wanted his Fender signature Strat to be available in hot rod red and sonic blue (which Fender did not want for some reason).

Blue guitars are great, but I personally don't like the blue USB stick, the red one looks much more detailed and realistic, and simply better (just my 2c)

I prefer also the red one. i would love to have a National-guitar-usb stick, a pensa mk and a gibson one.

Ah the Blue Pensa! I think straight away of the 2nd night at the RAH when the Blue Pensa came out in readiness for 'KOG' and boy did it look and sound the part. I'm a Strat man as you all know but boy that Pensa is something else.....Blue or Brown!!

SWEETSURRENDER, "can't get no fancy notes on my blue guitar" is from "One World" on BIA. "Can't get no antidote for blue ooh oohs."

I believe he also played a blue mex strat at the 2002 gigs.

Ingo was faster than me about the fernandes. 

I have this pic in a french magazine from around late 80ies
