New Waterloo WL-K!
After socking away money since those heady pre-COVID days, I had amassed enough cash for the small Waterloo acoustic of my dreams.
But none could be found, and Collings was deeply back-ordered. Until I found one locally! These Waterloos are Collings-built reproductions of Depression-era guitars made by Gibson and Martin under other names, they are extremely lightly built with few aesthetic appointments. This particular model is a Kel Kroydon replica, and weighs 3.1 pounds. Notes pop out in a dry, articulate way, and it's loud for such a tiny thing. There is a K&K pickup installed though I'm not sure I'll use it. What do you think? |

I've always loved the look of the WL-K. Understated, yet very attractive. So light they almost pick themselves up for you. Congrats on finding one. Not an easy hunt!

I like your words, understated yet attractive. That plainness has an appeal all its own. |

That is a very cool looking instrument. I bet it's a blast to play. I've never seen a Waterloo in the wild up here in Canada.

Enjoy your new Waterloo! I am lucky enough to own 2 (WL-12 and WL-S Deluxe) I have not had the opportunity to try a K model but I'm sure I'd love it.
