Waterloo Neck Option
Posted: Fri Oct 19, 2018 2:57 pm
I'm wondering about the "small profile" neck now being offered on the Waterloo models, in particular the WL14 X. I bought one of the first models when these came out, number 105, and was very happy with the neck, at the time. But, after a couple years with it, and a change in my other guitars, I'm finding the BIG neck harder and harder to play.
As much as I love the tone and the size, really just about everything about these guitars, I'm wondering if it's worth the cash to sell my current model and replace it with the small profile version. Is the neck really that much smaller?
For reference, I'm now playing and preferring a D1A Varnish with the standard neck profile, and a 290. These two are pretty similar in shape and size, and fit me quite well. If I could get a Waterloo with a neck somewhat similar to these two it would become just about the perfect guitar for me.
Anyone with experience with both the older, fat neck Waterloo and the new smaller version?
