Over the last few decades Washburn has shown to make quality instruments. I bought mine in Nashville. It needed a setup and feet dressing. But I think it had been in the wall for a long time. It’s got a nice clear sound and is pretty easy to play. You should enjoy it once it’s set up. As for left handed, I imagine, again, done properly, you’ll have a great instrument that will take you a long way on your playing journey.
