The Waterloo by Collings WL-12 is a beautifully crafted small-body acoustic that blends vintage character with refined craftsmanship. Its solid spruce top and solid flamed maple back and sides produce a clear, lively voice with warmth, definition, and impressive resonance. Vintage-inspired X-bracing and a vintage-style sunburst finish complete its timeless aesthetic, while the semi-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer allows the natural beauty of the woods to remain front and center.
Vintage-inspired details give the WL-12 its unmistakable personality. The ivoroid-bound top and soundhole are complemented by an ebony bridge with 2 3/8" spacing, ebony bridge pins, a bone drop-in saddle, and a tigerstripe celluloid pickguard. Golden Age Restoration tuners and a stenciled Waterloo logo add to its old-world charm, creating the impression of an instrument that has already lived a musical life.
The solid mahogany neck features a comfortable moderate oval profile and meets an Indian rosewood fingerboard with a 12" radius, 6mm acrylic dot inlays, and medium 18% nickel-silver fret wire. A 1 3/4" ebony nut and 24 7/8" scale length provide a comfortable, spacious playing feel, while the adjustable truss rod offers dependable long-term neck support. At only 3 lbs 9 oz, the WL-12 feels remarkably light and responsive in the hands.
With its distinctive maple construction, vintage styling, thoughtful appointments, and expressive acoustic voice, the Waterloo WL-12 is an inviting instrument for players who appreciate character and craftsmanship. A hard case is included, making this guitar ready for the studio, the stage, or wherever the music leads.
