2018 Gibson L-1 F Hole - Has Anyone Played One ?

Tal_175,

I own an L-00 TV also.

Let me compliment you on your refined good taste!

Just for kicks, this morning I called Collings and then Dave's, to see what I could learn. There doesn't seem to be a Waterloo archtop in the immediate future. The Collings representative said she'd pass along the suggestion, and did agree that the valid reasoning behind the Waterloo flattop, would also seem to apply to an archtop.
Tyler from Dave's said that Waterloo is a 'new company', so maybe they're treating it as a separate entity.

I also noticed that Dave's is once again a dealer for all Gibson products at all his locations.

So for now we 'stay tuned'.

I keep thinking our best hope is that somehow Collings decides to make a ' Waterloo ' archtop. I mean, if they can make and sell an acceptable flattop for under $2500. , which they are, if their archtop sold for $3500.00 or less, for me that'd work.

Oh well.....

How much was the AT-16 again?

*Looks at price*

Oh.

To be honest every time I see this I hop over to reverb and start looking at 100+ year old gibson acoustics. Keeps getting more tempting, and no more expensive

Oh.

And according to Dave's, their backlog for their current model archtops, even with those prices, is two years +.
