The GS Mini does come in left handed versions, though you'd probably have to order one. The Minis I've played seem really good for the money.

Have a word with francis - I think you might be surprised that you can get a luthier-built guitar, and have input into the design and choice of woods, all within your price range. Of course, you'll have to wait a bit because it doesn't exist yet, and isn't off the shelf - but it'll be worth it... just send Francis a PM (and we, and you, get to watch it being built on a build thread!)

I'll second that! I've played two parlours made by francis - both were outstanding, considerably bettersounding than the ones you've mentioned granty, and would not be bettered by spending considerably more cash.

Cheers guys Leoroberts - I went on to Francis website and sent a message regarding a parlour guitar.
Ocarolan - thanks for input ,having played both faith and Taylor was impressed on how both have a lot of volume for such a small size. But I am going to wait and get on made by Francis I am in no rush though.

The killer for ms with Faiths is the narrow fingerboard on some which are almost unplayable for me!

Yeah I thought that when tried the faith Mercury scoop . The turner I have is 45mm which is ideal for myself.
