Not lefty, but never seen this before...and.....same add on eBay at more than double the price! This seems to be a legit Japanese seller but there's been a trend over the last few years of apparently "Japanese shops" (read Chinese off shore fronts) selling on eBay, ridiculously overpriced and they seem to think we have no idea of the real world prices. Caveat emptor

Interesting concept, looks well thought-out but UGLY!
I like the idea of the removable headpiece and tailpiece.

That tailpiece is Way Too Big... but I do like that fact that all can be unscrewed, and condensed into a portable unit... price is way too expensive though... who's the manufacturer, who plays it, why does this guy think this value is valid, etc....
