Tried to buy an X-braced version from a local guy who, now that I think about it, maybe didn't really want to sell. But demoing his gave me a pretty good idea about the playability of the Vintage V neck which - for me anyway - is a lot easier than was my CEO7 (may it rest easy in its buyer's hands). It doesn't have the "cheek" like the Martin does. Makes a big difference to me.
Looking for another WL-14X, found this one at a good price, so I decided to take a walk on the L-side of the street. Early returns...I'm surprised by the projection and sustain. Then again, I'm new to ladder bracing, so what did I know? Last edited by upsidedown; 12-05-2017 at 06:47 PM. |

Congrats! Since I own three, I feel you can't go wrong with either L or X bracing. So light in weight too that it's like holding nothing in your hands. They're too much fun to play!

"Light in weight"? Have you the opportunity to try one of the S models?
Lightest of the lot. |

Congrats! I just received my WL-14 yesterday. I test-drove one with the full V-neck before ordering this one with the "small neck". Still a chunky neck, but with a softer V shape.

Still haven't had the chance to try the "smaller neck," though I'd love to A/B them.

Nice! I'm a very proud WL12 owner, and have to say that these are exceptional guitars in every respect. Anyone who thinks they're limited to blues rags hasn't played one much!
Congrats! |

Congratulations on a fine purchase!
I actually weighed mine on a digital scale: three pounds, one point two ounces

Yes, I own the Deluxe model, or Stella as some call it, and it is light as a feather.

I remember your first Waterloo experience in New York. What swung you over to the ladder bracing? Oh....nice Waterloo

Hi upside down,
Well, the ladder brace is true to the Kalamazoo KG 14, so you’re hearing the sound a lot of blues got played and recorded on. I had a KG 14 for quite a while, and it sounded less refined than its x braced kin, but it had a quite distinctive edge to its tone. Happy NGD!
