Dennis, I have a new one I have yet to try. Tony Prior liked this speaker and it's definitely a telecaster players favorite.

Larry, let me know if it seems to fit steel. The frequency chart looks good for mids and highs, but bottom end response may be lacking?

Dennis, I certainly hope it has enough bottom to satisfy the steel. I plan on putting it into a deep cabinet so my thoughts are that the extra depth will boost the lower end.

I did a gig last night and the guitar player(old school Tele guy) was telling me he had one he was breaking in and it sounds like a JBL(??). But he didn't have it in the amp he was using ...so your mileage may vary.
