Waterloo WL-AT Archtop Guitar. UK £3200.00 and pedals!

[andyb]

I’m selling my Waterloo WL-AT, a beautifully crafted archtop guitar with a distinctive vintage-inspired sound. Designed by the late Bill Collings, it’s an incredibly responsive instrument with plenty of projection, warm mids, and a character that’s equally suited to jazz, blues, folk, country, and roots music.


The compact body makes it comfortable to play, while the flat mahogany back gives it a unique voice that really stands out from a standard acoustic.


The guitar is in excellent condition and has been well looked after. It’s a fantastic instrument that’s becoming increasingly sought after by both players and collectors. I bought this guitar from a fellow forum member a few years ago, but haven't played it much, I’d rather see it being played and enjoyed.


Solid carved spruce top with f-holes, flat solid mahogany back and sides, and a prominent V-shaped mahogany neck.

Great guitar at a great price. Sorry I can only afford a plectrum just now. GLWTS.

Thanks Rob, I bought it to play the "Plectrum Guitar" style after the lessons I had with you a while ago, and it's perfect for that style.

[Rob MacKillop]

Yes, it would be. I hope you haven’t given up playing?

I am still playing, I have been concentrating on standards, playing with a group, hence the sale of this beauty.

Good to know!

Hi, lovely small guitar. Can I ask what gauge strings you have on it, and if there is room to lower the action, if desired, at the bridge? would you ship across country, (I'm in Cornwall).

Hi, the strings are Martin Retro acoustic Monel 11-52, they suit the guitar very well, you can of course change them to your liking, I have a spare set that I will send with the guitar anyway
.
The bridge is fully down on the bass side and 1mm up on the treble side, giving 2mm at the 12th fret. A lower action would need some fettling, but I am not sure it would be necessary for an acoustic guitar.

I would prefer cash on collection, and could meet you 1/2 way?

PM me if you want to discuss further please.

If you were in the US I'd probably need to have that. Beautiful. GLWS.

I have decided to sell all my pedals as well, I'm probably being lazy but here is a shot of everything and prices.
The Flash Back 2 mini is brand new in an unopened box.

As with the guitar open to offers.
