General
Your general opinion of this product.
I'm surprised at how good this product is. Staggeringly good. I have some Celestion Blues, G12H30's, Vintage 30's, and various Weber Ceramic and Alnico speakers, and this is hands down the best speaker I own. It deserves a revealing amp in front of it - I use a Trinity TC15.
I have a Strat with Fender Custom shop pickups, a Tele with Fralins, a Les Paul with SD Seth Lover Humbuckers and a couple of other electrics with Lollar P90's and EMG's. I've been playing over 25 years. We all have our favorites but this is the first time I felt I should post a review.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
The speakers ability to resolve nuances in touch is impressive. Its fast, responsive, smooth, with some natural compression, but in a way that helps expression, and in a way that enhances rather than takes the life out of the touch of a guitarist.
If you are looking for a great clean or semi-clean sound out of your strat and are looking for a musical and revealing speaker, (for me anyway) this is it.
