This Preowned Waterloo WL-14 is in very good overall condition, with the original hardshell case. It is a player and has some light buckle wear and play wear, commensurate with normal use on a satin finished guitar.
This one has their Ladder Bracing.
Founded by master luthier Bill Collings of Collings Guitars, the Waterloo guitar line is a look back in time to when there was a genuine need for soulful tone that could be coaxed from simple instruments. The blues, country, and folk music played on these instruments was made in heartfelt response to the hard times of the depression era. It was music heard in work camps and barn dances, kitchens and honky-tonks, porches, street corners and churches. These musical styles became the roots of popular American music for decades to come. The Waterloo brand is all about capturing the voice and spirit of the very best depression era guitars in well-made and very playable instruments.
From the manufacturer about the WL-14:
"The WL-14 is the flagship model of the Waterloo guitar line and the inspiration that started it all. Keeping true to the design and style of the era, the WL-14 is available in "ladder" bracing (L) as well as "X" bracing (X). The ladder bracing option provides woody and open tone, with midrange honk that's perfect for fingerstyle blues."
All Waterloo models are handmade in Austin, Texas.
