The Collings Forum

Iris seems to be the best alternative right now. I played an AB model and the Dan Erlewine signature at Elderly Instruments and they both impressed me. As Georgelange mentioned, there are used Waterloos to be found but they're not in large supply. I know I'm holding on to my WL-12. I sold my WL-S De...

I'm a fairly recent Waterloo owner myself with a WL-12 that I bought used which was followed up by a WL-S Deluxe, also purchased used. I have a friend who owns two Collings and he was just floored by both of m...

Congrats on your new Waterloo. Play the snot out of it!
