Waterloo WL-12L

The WL-12 is a lightly built 12 fret L-00, with X bracing, figured maple back and sides, and spruce top. Collings hit it out of the park with this incarnation of their massively popular Waterloo line.

The guitar is exceptionally light, which helps build warmth and darkness into a small body guitar. The maple adds a touch of compression, making the 12 fret WL-12 an exceptional raggy-blues fingerstyle instrument. Lots of great presence through the midrange, treble power, and nicely articulated bass response.

A great looking but simply appointed guitar, the WL-12 features a bound top and soundhole, unbound back, rosewood fingerboard with pearloid dots, ebony rectangle bridge and bone saddle. Open-geared tuners, ebony nut, and satin sunburst. Best yet, this one was ordered in factory lefty.

With hardshell case.
