Sound Pure's Take

Our favorite Waterloo, hands down! This model just nails what we all love about those quirky old ladder braced instruments, Stellas in particular in this case. Cherry offers a perfect amount of clarity and liveliness to compliment the honky, aggressive bluesy tone this style of bracing is known for. Hand rubbed varnish to take the weight down to half-full balloon territory and a truss rod to take playability and maintenance out of the 30s and into the present. Don't miss this!

From Collings Guitars

The new 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 hand rubbed varnish finish completes the WL-S both aesthetically and tonally, with a beautiful vintage patina and acoustical excitability that brings out the nuances of this ladder braced design. A 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.
