A subsidiary of Collings, all Waterloo instruments are hand-crafted in Austin, TX and are made to the incredibly high standards applied to all Collings instruments. A one-owner instrument, the Waterloo Jumbo King is full-bodied in both tone and stature. The largest size offering in the Waterloo line and a modern day tribute to jumbo-sized guitars of the early 1940s, the model on which the Jumbo King is based was originally manufactured by Regal for the mail-order enterprise Montgomery Ward.\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003e\rThis slope shoulder body size was designed to provide performers of the '40s with enough volume and power for professional radio work, and the WL-JK accomplishes this and more by employing a full five-inch body depth and a slightly narrow waist to enhance both the bass and treble response. The vintage-inspired X-bracing on the spruce top yields tons of projection and a bold and woody overarching tonal character. The 25 1\/2\" scale puts ideal tension on the top, and the solid mahogany back and sides deliver a punchy, layered sound with midrange growl and a sparkling treble sweetness. This Waterloo weighs only 3lbs 10oz, professionally dialed in here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike's Guitar Bar with easy-playing action and accurate intonation.\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003e\rThe mahogany neck has a deep V profile carve, measuring an impressive .970\" deep at the 1st fret and graduating to a modestly massive 1.045\" at the 9th. The rosewood fretboard features medium nickel silver frets that show just a hint of wear beneath the plain strings on the crowns of frets 1-4, playing cleanly up the 25 1\/2\" scale. The carved bone nut measures a full 1 3\/4\" in width, and the headstock features a rosewood overlay, stenciled Waterloo - Jumbo King text, and Golden Age Restoration antiqued strip tuners.\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003e\rThe ebony bridge has a compensated drop-in bone saddle with 2 3\/8\" string spacing, ideal for fingerstyle work and accurate picking. Cosmetic accents include a tortoise pickguard and herringbone rosette, and the nitro lacquer Sunburst finish exhibits just a few pinhead-sized nicks and a faint finish scuff or two on the body as a whole, largely relegated to the treble side of the strum path. A strap button has also been added to the treble side of the neck heel.\u003cbr\u003e\r\u003cbr\u003e\rThe original hardshell case is included.","brand":"Waterloo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44185417351424,"sku":"815","price":2899.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4437\/4714\/products\/medium_59665279-ee49-42ec-9f1a-773b9c3b17c3.jpg?v=1751566379","url":"https:\/\/mmguitarbar.com\/products\/2021-waterloo-wl-jk-jumbo-king-acoustic-guitar-spruce-mahogany-near-mint-w-case-1","provider":"Mike \u0026 Mike's Guitar Bar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
