The Waterloo by Collings WL-14X "Boot Burst" Edition captures the character and charm of vintage American flattop guitars while benefiting from the exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail for which Collings is renowned. Featuring a solid spruce top paired with solid mahogany back and sides, this X-braced model delivers a warm, woody voice with impressive clarity, dynamic response, and balanced projection. Finished in the eye-catching full-body Boot Burst with a semi-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, tortoise binding on the top, back, and soundhole, and a cream celluloid pickguard, the WL-14X exudes timeless vintage-inspired style. Weighing just 3 lbs. 8 oz., it offers outstanding comfort and resonance whether played at home, in the studio, or on stage.
The solid mahogany neck features a prominent V profile that evokes the feel of pre-war instruments while providing a comfortable and confident grip. An Indian rosewood fingerboard with a 12-inch radius, medium nickel-silver frets, and 6mm acrylic dot inlays delivers a smooth, effortless playing experience. The 24 7/8-inch scale length, adjustable truss rod, and 1 3/4-inch ebony nut further enhance playability, making the guitar equally suited for fingerstyle and flatpicking techniques.
Premium appointments include an ebony bridge with bone drop-in saddle and ebony bridge pins for excellent tonal transfer and sustain, along with Golden Age Restoration tuners fitted with cream buttons for reliable tuning stability and classic vintage appeal. Complete with a hardshell case, the Waterloo WL-14X "Boot Burst" Edition is an inspiring acoustic that beautifully blends old-world character with modern precision, offering an authentic vintage voice backed by Collings' uncompromising build quality.
