Couldn't see one mentioned above, but have you considered a Maton. They're hand-built (at least the ones at the upper end of the range are - these cost around the AUD $1,000 and up mark.

They also craft for specifically left-handed players - I know that sounds specious, but a guy I know who's a leftie says there's a real difference between playing a right-handed (standard) instrument set up with the strings opposed to be played left-handed and an instrument which is crafted and set up for a left-handed player from the start.

He might have been pulling my chain but I don't think I'm THAT gullible.

Finally, I've NEVER heard a bad-sounding Maton - - - - EVER!!!!!
