Left-handed short-scale electric at a good price, with a baseline of quality you can depend on? It seems this is only to be found through Thomann in Europe. In context of the price and availability, this guitar is outstanding. It must be mentioned, however that this is not a premium guitar by any means. But it is not cheap either. The pickups are the biggest surprise - they actually sound decent - and the electronics are fine. It looks great, came undamaged and I was able to intonate it right up and adjust the truss rod and saddle heights, no problem. The nut needs some work, but this is acceptable at this price. The only small issue that I needed to resolve was a high fret which was preventing the action from being lowered satisfactorily. Luckily, it was just one fret that wasn't seated entirely; two taps with a plastic hammer and it was down and level. Great buy for a young left-handed learner.
