Waterloo WL-S Deluxe
The WL-S Deluxe possesses a richness, dimensionality, and warmth that must be heard to be believed. Inspired by ornately-appointed Stella guitars from the 1930’s, the WL-S features intricate wood purflings and custom acrylic inlays for an appearance to match its detailed tone. A toned, semi-gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish completes the WL-S Deluxe, bringing out the nuances of this ladder braced design. Solid cherry wood back and sides further enhance the unique character of this guitar, providing exceptional balance and articulation.
All WL-S models feature a vintage correct “Soft-V” neck profile with an adjustable truss rod, slotted headstock, and a pyramid bridge with a cutthrough saddle. Hardshell TKL case included.
All Waterloo models are handmade in Austin, Texas.
