[A] [C]
[Em] [E] Hi there, my name is Mark Stutman, coming to you from Folkway Music here in Waterloo,
Canada.
[C] Today I'm going to talk to you about two guitars that are similar and different.
The first is this instrument, which is a Martin 0017S in black smoke, and the other one is
the Waterloo WLK by Collins Guitars.
Both of these instruments are 00 sized, 12 fret, flat tops.
Both are made out of spruce and mahogany.
Both feature a short scale neck, a solid headstock, small bridge, and X bracing with roughly the
same angle of X.
Both guitars have a top that measures about 150 thousandths of an inch and a back that
measures about 105.
However, they sound [E] real different.
[Bm]
[E]
So why is that?
Well there's a few reasons.
The first is that this is a Collins and that's a Martin and they just sound different.
The second, the Waterloo guitar has straight bracing, the Martin has scalloped bracing.
The Waterloo guitar has a radius top similar to the Gibsons that were built in the early 30s.
The Martin has a Martin style flat top.
The Waterloo guitar also has a carbon fiber non-adjustable neck support.
And the Martin guitar has Martin's adjustable truss rod.
So I'll play a little riff on both guitars.

And you'll notice the Martin is very warm and maybe darker with more openness in the bass response.
Less push and power through the midrange and the trebles.
And the Waterloo is all about that pushy, [Am] ragtime, bluesy midrange [F#] with [G#] really fat,
rounded trebles.
And [E] an articulate bass.
[Bm] [A]
[B] [Em] [E]
[A] [E]
So two very different instruments.
But the same on paper, sort of.
[N] You'll have to decide for yourself which is the one that you like more.
Thanks for joining us.
