Depending on the condition, this is a pretty good deal. I have 2 different versions of this guitar, not including the MOT, and they're great. Despite the GC listing, it is not called a Moronello, it is a Maranello. I don't know whether they read it wrong or were trying to be funny.

I hear these are built in the same factory Reverend Puresalem used and the factory which Dusenberg once used. So they're capable of making high end instruments although I admit I've never tried one.
If the Dusenberg thing is confusing because they claim they're German made, it's basically they'd do finishing, setup, assembly, and Plek work in Germany. They were clear about this initially (it was in articles posted on their website still accessible via wayback machine), then wouldn't comment on this, and now they're built in Croatia and finished in Germany using the same model. All that's an aside, just mentioning it because they're super pricey and made in the same factory.

I had an Italia:
Well made, but heavy.
