Electric guitars, guitar amplification, and the birth of Rock-n-Roll in the 1950's collectively established a new use for loudspeakers. Speaker choices were limited in those days and amplifier manufacturers had to purchase products that were common to other applications. Usually, this meant a low-power speaker, often with an Alnico magnet, and limited cone and coil travel.
Due to the nature of the speaker's construction, the sound of the guitar and amplifier combination was impacted by the speaker design. Amplified guitar was a bit more aggressive duty than most other speaker applications at the time and the speakers were frequently challenged in terms of their mechanical movement and linearity. Guitarist learned how to control this non-linearity and use the resulting tonal characteristics to their advantage. Speaker break-up became cool and was a desired feature by most guitarists. The great guitar tones we know now are a result of those events.
Although there are a multitude of distinctive guitar speaker tones available today, they can be broken down into two main categories. We have Marshall and Celestion to thank for the distinctively "British tones" that we are so familiar with. Fender, Peavey, and SLM (Crate/Ampeg) worked with speaker companies like Eminence, Oxford, CTS, JBL, and Electro-Voice to establish tones that are distinctively "American".
Eminence is proud to present the Patriot™ and Red Coat™ series of guitar speakers. Incorporating both British and American cone technology into speakers that are manufactured in the USA gives us the ability to provide you with virtually any tone you desire. Be it British or American, clean or dirty, big bass or screaming highs, we have a speaker that will allow you to "Pick Your Sound".

I put this in a silverface Princeton Reverb, and it sounds great. Very warm, and plenty of volume. I'd buy another.

Tone is a matter of personal preference so I will not rate based on that. Took a little while to break in. I used this to replace the stock speaker in my Fender Custom 68 Princeton Reverb Reissue. The highs are more subdued, the word fatter comes to mind when considering tone in comparison to the stock speaker with a semi-hollow body guitar (ES-335). High quality, solidly built speaker with top notch customer support from seller and manufacturer. With this speaker I can turn the Bass to 0, and the treble up to 7 and I still get a bassy tone that is nice for Jazz w/ ES-335, but can definitely pump out some bold rock with either that guitar or my Les Paul for sure. Heard this speaker at a friend's gig in a vintage Fender cabinet he was playing a Tele style guitar. Awesome surf sound. Definitely a quality speaker, and if you like it, you like it. I do.

Great speaker. I installed it in my 1980 Roland cube 40 to get a better jazz tone and it sounds phenomenal!

This is a great warm speaker. The build quality is perfect. Great speaker for a Fender Princeton amp. Very smooth creamy tone. Great for jazz or if you like a thick clean tone. Not a rock and roll speaker.
