Exactly this ^. There's a little squeeze-out under one of the braces on my WL12, but I don't recall ever seeing any glue "blobs" on it or any of the eight or nine Waterloos that I've played.
And department-store guitars of the 1930s certainly didn't have the even-grained spruce top or solid flame maple back and sides that my WL12 has, nor the handmade quality described above.
