SP Luthier Notes: A complete setup was perfomed. A few frets were leveled, crowned, and polished. The pickguard was buffed. No further work was required.
The Waterloo WL-14 L is a beautifully raw, roots-driven acoustic that captures the spirit of early American guitars with honesty and soul. Its solid spruce top and mahogany back and sides deliver a dry, woody voice with quick attack and an intimate, direct response that feels alive in the hands. Ladder bracing adds punch and character, while the lightweight build and semi-gloss nitro finish give it an effortlessly broken-in feel. The prominent V-shaped neck encourages confident, expressive playing. Simple, musical, and full of personality, this WL-14 L is a unique, long-term investment built for players who value authenticity and inspiration.
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. The "X" braced version retains tighter focus and balance across the tonal range.
There are currently two different neck profiles and two neck support options available for the WL-14. The standard neck profile is a sizable, vintage-inspired neck with a prominent "V" shape. For those who prefer more moderately sized necks, an alternate lower-profile option is available by request. For neck support, choose from either a T-bar for ultra-lightweight rigidity or an adjustable truss rod for greater setup flexibility. Hardshell TKL case included.
