Waterloo WL-JK Jumbo King
United States
The WL-JK, nicknamed the 'Jumbo King,' is the largest Waterloo model, a tribute to early-1940s jumbo flattops built by Collings in Austin, Texas. It uses a full five-inch body depth, a slightly narrow waist and vintage-inspired X-bracing for strong bass and treble response.

Waterloo WL-12
United States
The WL-12 is a compact, lightweight mahogany Waterloo flattop evoking the simple, affordable 'Dust Bowl' era instruments of the 1920s and 30s. Built by Collings in Texas, it is punchy and full yet easy to travel with.
-
Waterloo WL-14
United States
The WL-14 is the flagship Waterloo model and the guitar that launched the Collings sub-brand, built in Austin, Texas. A small-body interpretation of Depression-era flattops, it is offered in both ladder- and X-braced versions with a prominent vintage V-neck, prized for its woody, open fingerstyle and blues voice.
