sbpark Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 I've owned a couple of the WL-14's and played pretty much the entire line. They're great guitars but never really did it for me. Recently came across this Custom Shop Martin 00-18 that I've been really happy with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesKing777 Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Waterloos are fab! I have 2 - an x braced and a L braced. While the video above sounds ok, it is not much of a promotion for the use of a Waterloo Guitar. I mean, it is ok for strumming a few C and G and Am chords and the girl sings well and is pretty with a bit of scary hair, but..... Here is Toby Walker unleashing a bit of Waterloo Guitar cool: BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like both, CBP....while neither are anything like the BK except body size/dimensions, so you would need to try them. There is also an all mahogany version of the same model that I recently tried, very nice! But in a pinch, the ladder braced WL-14L gets played more...sounds older than my vintage Gibsons and has the same great big V neck of my old 35 L50, which has about twice the wood as the BK... And the X braced WL-14X is maybe more like what I thought I was buying with my first BK....if that makes sense - a vintage toned small body. BluesKing777.

northcntryblues Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 BK, what's the neck like on the x braced one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluesKing777 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 BK, what's the neck like on the x braced one? Both my Waterloos have a copy of the mid 30s Kalamazoo/Gibson big V neck (with about twice as much wood as the Blues King!): It feels very similar to my 1935 Gibson L50 neck: BluesKing777.

scriv58 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 thanks sal- seems to me that most gibson lovers will find the waterloo line to be a natural extension. Although countrybluespicker did not direct the question to me, i would suggest looking at all the specs on their website https://www.waterlooguitars.com/models/ and determining what may be the best choice. My first was a wl-14L which was really a crackerjack of a guitar, had "it" in spades, but the deep sharp V profile neck bit painfully into my thumbjoint (yeah i know flimsy me). So you may want to try before buy. Several of the models have identical body dimensions but different necks and bracing. They all have in common a 1 3/4" nut and 2 3/8" saddle string spacing, the latter of which i find to be a fingerpickers delight. One more really catches my eye, the wl-jk jumbo king in mahogany. One last thing- i nave read posts on forums referring to v-necks and the "smaller" neck, which i find to be an erroneous description. The rounded alternative in waterloo line is not beefy but not thin- quite comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
