Following review text is verbal representation of numerical rating information:

It feels that Italia could have done better with Classic Left-Handed, but still, this is a useful musical instrument. You should really give Classic Left-Handed a chance if you feel that this is a right instrument for you in this moment in time.

Some say that the average is golden, and maybe that is true for Italia's Classic Left-Handed as well. There are musicians who would like to see more features on Classic Left-Handed, but Italia felt that Classic Left-Handed provides enough features for a given price and the market that Italia aims for. Perhaps there are better equipped guitars then this one, but Classic Left-Handed will deliver what it's built for.

Another great sounding guitar from Italia such as Classic Left-Handed surely stands shoulder to shoulder with its previous models, and with top guitar models from other musical instruments manufacturers as well. Plugged into most amplifiers, this guitar will deliver the kind of tone you'd expect from a high class instrument. Hardware setup that requires no effort to adjust will have you playing your tone in no time.

It seems that Italia didn't put in too much effort into producing a guitar like Classic Left-Handed. Finish feels a bit cheap if you look closely, and the instrument did not look very promising while held and played. As with any other guitar, you have to take some time to get used to it, and it may seem that that period of getting yourself comfortable with new instrument is a bit longer with Classic Left-Handed.

If you're happy with Italia's Classic Left-Handed overall performance and characteristics, you can consider it to be a replacement guitar for your gigs. Even if used as only guitar Classic Left-Handed will perform, but don't overrate it and always try and find a backup. It is a solid guitar that will last long and perform well if you treat it right.
