Are they still producing Waterloo guitars? I have been looking for a couple and it doesn't appear to be any new Waterloos entering the market.

I've read that they are back to building instruments but I've also read that they're focusing on the Collings line over Waterloo. I would just give them a call and hear it from the horse's mouth. I've heard many times how helpful and friendly they are when you ring them up.

I see Gryphon doesn’t even have a Waterloo category anymore under their brand option. Interesting.

I am being told by a reputable music store that I can order them but there is a two year wait now. I can order a Fraulini guitar and not have to wait as long.

I was inquiring from a dealer about ordering a WL-S model (this is one of the Premier dealers, mind you) and they told me the wait is 2.5 years and that don't expect any new Waterloo instruments until 2023. So it seems that we are getting similar stories.

I like the Waterloo line but frankly, a two- year wait time is a too-long wait for me!!

Red Oak, the good folks at Collings are doing their best in the current situation to keep the company going.....so the Waterloo line has taken a backseat to the Collings guitars. Two shifts, less people working....
