Personal Thoughts
This is a very cool build and one that feels properly thought through. The Marianna shape already has a lot of character, but the semi-hollow construction, f-hole and aged Sonic Blue finish give it even more personality. I really like the spec here because it balances boutique style with very sensible player-focused choices. The quartersawn roasted maple neck, 12" radius and Jescar frets should make it feel fast and stable, while the Medium V carve adds a bit more individuality than the usual safe modern profile. The Castedosa TS humbuckers are also a big part of the appeal, giving it a broader, more muscular voice than a more traditional single-coil offset-style build. Add in the Mastery bridge and trem and it ends up being a very classy modern boutique guitar with plenty of vintage flavour.
Condition Report
Mint condition. Light ageing is factory correct as part of the original build spec. No additional wear of note beyond the intentional aged finish treatment.
