This Waterloo by Collings - WL-AT SB evokes the tone of a bygone era, while delivering the craftsmanship and quality that we've come to expect from Collings/Waterloo crew. Featuring a solid carved Spruce top, paired with a flat Mahogany back and sides, this small-body Archtop is throaty and punchy, with a unique note definition and presence. Single note lines ring out in a tight, focused manner, especially in the bass notes, while chords and rhythm parts are flat and dry, with just enough sustain to ring out. Highly addictive for playing lead lines, or blues box riffs, while strumming evokes the early old-time songs coming straight off of Appalachian front porches. This Waterloo delivers on the legacy of Collings archtop acoustics at a fraction of the price. Includes a free setup to your specs from our repair shop and a hardshell case.
