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!
