This is a great bargain for the left-handed guitarist looking for quality affordably priced. I am very impressed with the overall quality of the HB DC-580LH CH Vintage model. The neck is lacquered and silky smooth, frets are polished and snag-free, action set just right for my playing style. Minor tuning needed but not a problem. Easy to play, no buzzing, rich sound on the low-end, great tone across middle and high end. For the money, a great buy, looks and plays like a more expensive guitar. If only shipping costs were reduced!
