2016 Waterloo WL-K Light Shade Top with Hand-Painted Southwest Scene

Here’s just what you’ve been waiting for—a wonderful sounding lightly used Waterloo WL-K hand painted Southwest Stencil guitar made by Collings. Excellent condition with only the faintest signs of play wear. Collings scored a big hit when they introduced these vintage inspired guitars into the market, and it’s easy to understand why once you play one.

Weighing in at under three pounds, the featherweight WL-K is an exciting new 12-fret addition to the Waterloo line built with maximum responsiveness in mind. Inspired by the elusive instruments manufactured under the sub-brand Kel Kroydon around 1930, which were touted at the time to offer the utmost in vibratory response and the finest tone available, the WL-K is delicately built using lightweight materials and supported by thinly carved braces. When paired with a minimal lacquer finish, the resulting tone is dry and transparent with just the right level of complexity in the overtones, capable of capturing the expressiveness of the player down to the finest nuance.

With a 24 7/8″ scale length and moderately sized, oval shaped neck, the WL-K is a fingerstyle player’s delight, but this is by no means the extent of the guitar’s versatility. Exceptional clarity and note separation make it well-suited to a variety of other playing styles and a logical choice for singer-songwriters and purveyors of traditional roots music.

Comes with its original hardshell case.
