Waterloo WL-K - bare fingers vs. a pick or finger picks

Hi everyone,

New member here. Scott from Toronto, Canada.

For those who own (or have tried) a WL-K, how did you find it for fingerstyle? I recently heard from one high level pro guitarist that they "respond better to picks than bare fingers", but that seems to contradict what I've read and seen on-line (including the Waterloo website).

The professional player that mentiond this implied that the WL-S would be much better for bare finger fingerstyle.

I have arranged with a local store to try both a WL-K and WL-S this week. I plan to use this for fingerstyle blues (with bare fingers). Trying to find the right model for me, so any advice is welcome.

Cheers,

Scott

Hi everyone,

I bought a Waterloo last week so my search is over. In the end I went for a WL-K as I was able to play both a WL-K and WL-S side by side and the WL-K was the right fit for me in the end.

Cheers,

Scott
