Waterloo finish - what do you call it?
Is there a term to describe the Waterloo finish? It’s not really a satin finish.

On the Waterloo website they call it a “semi-gloss” finish.

I call mine gorgeous! I'd probably go with satin/matte

Got me a WL-12 bought in November 2016.
Changed out a set of three month old EJ16s strings earlier this week and, I always clean my guitars whilst unstrung (damp cloth all over , wipe dry then polish with a polish made for antique furniture called "Regency gold" and wipe off immediately.

It doesn't contain anything nasty, but slowly over eight or none string changes my Waterloo is getting shinier.

Lowdens used to have a similar satin finish, after 25 years playing & polishing mine has turned gloss pretty much all over,
Would love to see a Waterloo in a few years time.

I love that look too. Like an old leathery Gibson The Waterloos don't take long at all to shine up.
I would call the original finish matte and not glossy. Can't see my face and the finish is not glassy smooth.
