Waterloo Guitars WL-12 Aged Finish
The Waterloo Guitars ideology stems from the love of depression era guitars. Bill Collings wanted to re-capture the love of these poorly made instruments by building them them in a professional way with skilled craftsmanship that the 1930's & 40's guitars never had. This Waterloo Guitars WL-12 Aged Finish is a wonderful recreation of some of the first mass produced guitars that the United States ever saw!
Built with the vintage inspired X brace, this guitar yields a great amount of note definition with clarity & punch whether you're strumming or picking. The familiar tonewood combination of Solid Spruce & Maple is familiar and boxy without sounding too sharp or bright. The moderate oval C shaped neck is the most modern thing about this guitar & fits very comfortably in your hand no matter where you're playing on the neck. Other wonderful features on this Waterloo Guitars WL-12 Aged Finish include: a fully adjustable truss rod, drop-in saddle, and an Aged Black Top finish(see photos for finish checking).
