Yes, the Eminence Legend 105 is perfect for this amp.

Dig this tone. To what extent do you think I could get that bridge tone if I put that pickup in my tele without the wiring kit? Obviously not the cocked wa, but you get the idea.

[Hoodrio]

@dnauheim Well, some folks think removing the neck pickup eliminates enough magnetic string pull to change the tone of the bridge pickup (hence all the Esquire fans). I don't know if that's true or not, and since I've never had the Area T in a standard Tele, I can't say for sure if the tone would be the same. But my guess is that it would be 95% there.

I'm looking for a 60s style tele pickups, which are closer to that sound? The Area T or the Twang King?

[Hoodrio]

@Dimefan91 In my opinion neither--both are pretty modern sounding to me, much more versatile and full sounding than 60's Fender Tele pups. They do not sound "vintage" to me.

What song do you play on 3:30?

Cool playing!

@Jule553648 It's "Tequila"--thanks!

hey i just bought this amp!, i agree with what you said about the jensen being thin and the bass not being the best when turned up... do you recommend this new speaker??

[dnauheim]

@Hoodrio Awesome. I am going to buy one this weekend so I guess I will find out!

Man, I just got a Tele, now I want an Esquire!!!
