Waterloo WL-12

The ‪@Waterlooguitars‬ ideology stems from the love of depression era guitars. Bill Collings wanted to recapture the love of these poorly made instruments by building them them in a professional way with skilled craftsmanship that the 1930's & 40's guitars never had. The WL-12 is a wonderful recreation of some of the first mass produced guitars that the United States ever saw. Built with the vintage inspired X-brace, this guitar yields a great amount of note definition with clarity and punch whether you're strumming or picking. Here's Jesse with three of the FIVE WL-12s we currently have in stock.

I have the Waterloo WL-12 with the gorgeous 3 colour sunburst and killer flamed & striped maple back and sides. Lot's and lot's of Mojo and a great neck profile. The guitar is full of tunes to be found. Even my cat likes it😺

That's some nice sophisticated playing there buddy. Those Waterloos are some sweet sounding instruments.

I love Mahogany. My avatar is me playing my 1937 Martin 0-17 back in 1980 I was 25 years old. I’m 70 years old now

The Mahogani one is awesome, wonder if i will ever be able to buy one, being in Europe and with a current two and a half years waiting time for orders.

That Hog is unreal

[@jasonmccarty9]

I love all hog guitars. I wish the Waterloo mh guitars were a bit softer sounding. I love the soft woody tone of a Martin 000 15 but the Martin neck hurts my arm. I need to hear a Waterloo WL 14 MH in person. What are your thoughts on the comparison? I like dead strings and a woody mahogany sound but still with note articulation. Basically a Jeff Tweedy sound. I know he has a regular WL 14 and original Kel K. I recently tried the WL S and found it almost too punchy and in your face. I want a sound that spreads out evenly and sits back. Anyway. In search of that!

Can you do a video in which you compare the 12 and 14 fret Waterloo?

[@branzo79]

I own the hog version. Best guitar i have.

[@fischbyme]

Your silly ,of corse only a little bit ,so like it. 😅 So much feell i Your play 😊 All MH oh wow! But second one. ❤

[@colondoc]

love your videos and quirkiness. all amazing guitars. the maple and hog had strong G overtone? harmonic? to my ears which became annoying. Not my tinnitus. small body 12 fret gonna have to wait. just obtained huss & dalton DS crossroads.

How was this mic'd and with what mics?

[@ArtisanGuitars]

This was mic'd with two Rode NT5s, one around the 12th fret (but also used to pick up vocals), and one pointed at the bridge. Thanks for asking Jordan!
