I got this off a music store owner, who happens to have the same left-handed curse that I do. It was used, but he took decent care of it and the cedar top has aged well, producing a nice warm, mellow sound. It's listed at $350 if new, and I'm not made of money, but it's a bargain compared to some other guitars, especially considering how great it plays.

The fingerboard is fast, even though he set the action high and I haven't bothered to lower it, the guitar is extremely playable, chording and noting are both a breeze, It has a self-correcting bridge that treats each string individually, much like an electric, and the nut is nice, solid and sturdy rather than a cheap plastic nut that many guitars have. It has a beautiful finish, very light on the laquer, no gloss, very naturalistic. It's a gorgeous guitar.

Nothing.

It's seamless, quite well crafted. My only issue with the one I have is a slight separation of the neck at the body, but it does nothing to hamper playability and I'm sure it's because the guitar was previously owned. It still plays well despite, and the tone is magnificent, in the right hands this guitar can sing.

Great guitar, (relatively) cheap ... It's 350 for a lefty, 300 for a righty (which is complete discrimination), looks great, plays well, great tone, decent sustain. More worth your while than not if you're looking for a cheap accoustic.
