Waterloo WL JK Deluxe
Met zijn krachtige klank en statuur is de toepasselijk genaamde "Jumbo King" de grootste gitaar in de Waterloo line-up en een modern eerbetoon aan jumbo gitaren uit de vroege jaren 1940.
Deze slope-shoulder gitaar werd ontworpen om artiesten uit die tijd voldoende volume en vermogen te bieden voor professioneel radiowerk. De WL-JK doet hier nog en schepje bovenop dankzij de volle 5-inch diepe body en een smalle taille waardoor zowel zowel de bas als de hoge tonen nog beter te horen zijn. Oorspronkelijk werd dit model vervaardigd door Regal voor de postorderbedrijf Montgomery Ward.Â
De WL-JK maakt gebruik van vintage geïnspireerde X-bracing en een prominente V-vormige hals met een volledig verstelbare truss rod. Deze "deluxe" versie heeft daarnaast prachtige bindingen, "valve cover" periode correcte stemmechanieken en een volledige sunburst-afwerking.
Full-bodied in both tone and stature, the aptly nicknamed "Jumbo King” is the largest size offering in the Waterloo line and a modern day tribute to jumbo-sized guitars of the early 1940s.
Originally manufactured by Regal for the mail-order enterprise Montgomery Ward, this slope-shoulder body size was designed to provide performers of the era with enough volume and power for professional radio work. 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 WL-JK utilizes vintage inspired X-bracing and a prominent V-shaped neck with a fully adjustable truss rod. This “deluxe” version includes added bindings, true-to-era "valve cover" tuners, and a full-body sunburst finish.
