For late 50’s tweed Deluxe, replaces Chicago Jensen P12Q.
12″, 11oz AlNiCo magnet, 20 or 30 watts, 1-1/4″ voice coil, seamed, ribbed cone.
Bright, later breakup that is very smooth and compressed at higher volumes. A favorite for late tweed and early brown Deluxe.

You won’t find a better speaker for a Deluxe style amplifier. I use them in mine.

I build amps and the 12A125 is tops for vintage tone on a tweed deluxe. Standard equipment on my 5e3 Premium Amps!

A simply fantastic speaker. Great breakup and very nice detailed sound that allows you to hear every nuance of your playing!

Not a bad speaker for a Tweed Deluxe. Perhaps a little thin sounding compared to other options, but it helps brighten this amp up. The clean chime is really nice but I never liked this speaker driven. I find it a bit quacky, and a tad harsh. In all fairness I only used light dope, so perhaps heavier dope would help the driven tone at the expense of some chime.
I didn’t find it very versatile either – far too bright for many other amps.
