Detail 01
Nut, bracing and saddle are cut for lefty stringing. Not a flipped right-handed guitar with a reversed nut.
Detail 02
Smaller body, shorter reach to the first fret. Trades bass and volume for comfort.
Detail 03
Dense and hard. Slick under the fingers, wears slowly, and adds a bit of attack to the note.
Detail 04
Undyed top, so grain and any future repairs stay visible. No color to fade unevenly.
Detail 05
Standard tuning and standard chord shapes. Any beginner method book applies directly.
Final check

Product questions
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
Yes. It's a dedicated left-handed model, not a right-handed guitar restrung backwards.
Taylor prices this lefty at $449, matching the right-handed version. No lefty upcharge here.
Yes. The short scale reduces stretch and the ebony board gives a clean attack under fingertips.
Possibly. Many players move to a full-size guitar as hands grow, then keep this as a travel instrument.
