Sound Pure's Take

The Waterloo WL-S Deluxe captures the soul of vintage acoustics with remarkable tone and craftsmanship. Its spruce top and cherry back and sides produce a warm, articulate voice rich in character and balance. The soft V mahogany neck and Indian rosewood fingerboard offer effortless playability, while the hand-rubbed varnish and deluxe floral inlays give it classic, old-world charm.

From Collings Guitars

The WL-S Deluxe possesses a richness, dimensionality, and warmth that must be heard to be believed. Inspired by ornately-appointed Stella guitars from the 1930’s, the WL-S features intricate wood purflings and custom acrylic inlays for an appearance to match its detailed tone. A toned, semi-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish completes the WL-S Deluxe, bringing out the nuances of this ladder braced design. Solid cherry wood back and sides further enhance the unique character of this guitar, providing exceptional balance and articulation.

All WL-S models feature a vintage correct “Soft-V” neck profile with an adjustable truss rod, slotted headstock, and a pyramid bridge with a cutthrough saddle. Hardshell TKL case included.

All Waterloo models are handmade in Austin, Texas.
