I like their shop vacuums, too. I'm loving their newest one. It doubles as a blower, and for once I have a blower that can actually move some leaves. Runs quiet too.

By the Way, the Nick Lucas model was originally an L-00 shape like the Kalamazoo KG-14 (and now the Collings). It is just a 1/2" thicker body, supposedly for more bass response. (You can hear it best when you drink the kool-aide). Actually the Nick Lucas was originally an L-0 shape, and was A-braced: Given that the Waterloo goes for less than $2K, and the cheapest new Gibson with a similar shape goes for around $2,500, I know which one I'd pick.

You were Kalamazoo when Kalamazoo wasn't cool. I think Bill Collings should pay you a royalty on ever Waterloo that sells. Speaking of being Kalamazoo when Kalamazoo wasn't cool, my dad worked at Kal Tool & Die making stop-tailpieces for Gibson while he was in college.

I like that tenor, Patrick.
I dunno, I find ladder braced guitars just sound kind of thin and lacking in sustain. But again, that's my NSHO.

There were several "Nick Lucas Models." The guy had a multiple personality disorder, I think. Damn ! My favorite web page on vintage Gibsons is down.
