What would WE like to see by Waterloo?
Posted: Sat Feb 09, 2019 8:49 pm
So friends, we have seen the various versions of the WL series, and now the new archtops and mandos which are being discussed on other threads.
So, just for fun, let's discuss what we would like to see come out with Waterloo written on the headstock.
I'm not imposing any rules on this, but rather than thinking what would be commercially viable, let's just think about what WE would like to see.
I'll start the ball rolling by suggesting a Stella style 12 string. Not sure why, as I have a rebuilt Martin D12-20 with x35 trim and an adjustable truss rod:

and a slightly careworn Harmony H1270 - https://youtu.be/x961pcQEqJg
Both play like dreams, but I used to have a Del'Arte "leadbelly" baritone 12 string but it didn't really cut the mustard.
