Waterloos, if you don't know by now, have been appealling to and gratifying American roots (and more!) music disciples of all stripes since their release.  The bright, lively, and downright musical tone of this Scissortail is sure to bring yet more players into the fold.  If you're working on a sound that draws any amount of lineage from the first half of 20th century America's wild and wonderful musical tapestry, this is going to feel like a best friend and an even better teacher!

Drawing its name from the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher — a bird species common to the Central Texas Hill Country — the WL-14 Scissortail is a special edition WL-14 that pays homage to the "Oriole" guitars produced by Kalamazoo between 1940 and 1942. Built with maple back and sides and vintage-inspired X-bracing, the Scissortail brings excellent projection and focus to the flagship WL-14 series while retaining its woody, characteristic tone. A natural finish coupled with distinctive tortoise-style binding sets this instrument apart from other WL-14 models, along with an original Scissortail decal applied to the headstock in true-to-era fashion.

All Waterloo models are handmade in Austin, Texas.
