{"product_id":"03-2800005764307","title":"[SN 2603] USED WATERLOO \/ WL-14XTR Longhorn [03]","description":"A used Waterloo by Collings WL-14XTR Longhorn has arrived in stock.\u003cbr\u003e \nBased on the popular WL-14XTR model from Waterloo—Collings’ vintage-inspired brand—this is a Japan-exclusive “Longhorn” version. It features a “Boot Burst” finish, and the headstock is adorned with a depiction of the iconic Texas “Longhorn.”\u003cbr\u003e \nInspired by small-bodied guitars from the Great Depression era—such as the 1930s Gibson L-00 and Kalamazoo—this model prioritizes a “dry blues tone” and the “character of an old folk guitar” over flashy aesthetics.\u003cbr\u003e \nIt features a spruce top, mahogany back and sides, and a rosewood fingerboard with simple dot inlays. Both its sound and playability make it the perfect choice for the blues.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe neck features a V-shape with a slightly substantial thickness. Unlike modern thin necks, it has a distinct presence the moment you grip it. It allows you to play with power across the entire range from low to high notes, offering the high playability and reassuring feel characteristic of vintage guitars.\u003cbr\u003e \nCombining complex overtones with a dark, nuanced tone, its sound is truly reminiscent of vintage guitars from the Great Depression era. The tone—which isn’t merely flashy but blends a mature, weathered character with a raw, earthy quality—is a perfect match for blues and folk music.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nThe nut has been replaced, and there are scratches on the sides of the nut.\u003cbr\u003e \nAlthough it has a satin finish, there are areas on the sides of the body and the back of the neck where a sheen has developed from playing.\u003cbr\u003e \nWhile minor scratches and dents are visible, there is no noticeable damage or signs of heavy wear overall.\u003cbr\u003e \nWith 12-53 light-gauge strings installed, the action measures approximately 2.3 mm at the 12th fret on the 6th string and approximately 2.0 mm at the 12th fret on the 1st string.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe neck is in good condition, and the frets retain approximately 80% of their original height.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe original hard case is included.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nTop: Solid Spruce\u003cbr\u003e \nSides \u0026amp; Back: Solid Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e \nFingerboard \u0026amp; Bridge: Rosewood\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nCondition: B+\u003cbr\u003e \nTruss Rod: Slight play when tightening \/ Play when loosening\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck Condition: No issues\u003cbr\u003e \nFrets: 80% remaining\u003cbr\u003e \nCase: Original hard case\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nCondition Rating: B+: Some minor scratches, but no issues for normal use\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n* As this is a used item, there may be scratches, dents, or other imperfections that are not clearly visible in the photos or not listed here.
