Product Description
Andertons is pleased to offer this outstanding hand-crafted Castedosa Marianna Carve Top electric guitar in an eye-catching Aged Frost Gold finish with a Natural back and Dark Mole Tint neck finish. Partnered with its aged nickel hardware, cream binding, herringbone purfling and tortoise shell pickguard this is perhaps one of the most deluxe-looking electric guitars that’s come through our doors.
Weighing a very comfortable 7.7lbs this T-Style guitar resonates with acoustic-like qualities and overtones. Its mahogany body provides warmth with enhanced sustain which has been perfectly tonally balanced with the carved alder top and ebony fingerboard which help to provide a pronounced top end with an articulate attack. A premium-built electric guitar that can do it all.

- V Shape Neck: Vintage-styled comfort, perfect for players who like to rest their thumb over the top of the fingerboard.
- Quartersawn Roasted Maple: Select cuts of quartersawn of maple are chosen and then roasted for unparalleled strength and stability.
Carlos Lopez
For over 20 years Carlos Lopez has been gaining a reputation as one of the all-time greatest electric guitar builders. Spending 16 years with Fender working his way up from the factory floor to the Custom Shop then to Todd Krouse’s apprentice in 2017 and finally to Master Builder in 2019. During his time with the Fender, his solid reputation led him to build guitars for many of the greats including Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Robbie Robertson, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Robin Trower and Eric Johnson. After leaving Fender in 2021 he founded Castedosa Guitars in 2022 with the hope of continuing his growth in guitar building as well as giving him the opportunity to work with his wife Stephanie who winds the pickups, in turn creating a family-led business.
Premium Fit and Finish
No stone left unturned in making sure this handmade carved top Marianna is nothing but perfect. Premium selected tonewoods in combination with meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail as well as superior hardware and electronics make this T-Style electric guitar a force to be reckoned with.
Castedosa TS Humbuckers
These hand-wound Castedosa TS humbucking pickups are reminiscent to the esteemed design of the PAF humbucker. These low-wind vintage style humbuckers are beautifully open with perfect note separation and clarity. Wound in-house by Carlos’s wife Stephanie using premium components these rich-sounding pickups perfectly complement the prestigious quality of this master-built guitar.
