It's funny how completely different my actual Sona playstyle is compared to the guide I wrote.

In my guide, I advise...

• Start with Faerie Charm
• Build a Philosopher's Stone
• Recommend Kage's Lucky Pick if ahead
• Use mana regen runes
• Locket of the Iron Solari on cheat sheet
• Athene's Unholy Grail under questionable items
• Talk about Sona being a backliner

But in reality, I...

• Start with Boots
• 8 out of 10 times I skip Philosopher's Stone and build only Heart of Gold
• Have not built Kage's Lucky Pick on Sona in probably a year; usually start building Zeke's Herald if I'm ahead
• Primarily use full armor rune page when playing premade and 5.3 gold + 15 armor page when playing with pugs
• Have not built Locket of the Iron Solari on Sona for a very long time
• Item build is usually Heart of Gold -> Chalice of Harmony -> Ninja Tabi -> Zeke's Herald -> Aegis of the Legion -> Athene's Unholy Grail with 2 slots for wards
• Regularly Flash/ Crescendo people well into late game

My masteries and summoner spells are the only thing that seems to match up.
