Here’s what I posted to AGA on the subject. BTW, I didn’t mention that
it could be reconed with a “standard” style surround. Or, if one were
skilled enough, just the surround could be replaced.

Same as P12N except surround has more flexible “accordion” style
surround. High frequencies are rolled off- not sure exactly where,
but it’s above the highest primary frequency of a guitar. Since I
find very high frequency harmonics very undesirable with electric
guitar, the sound is ideal for me (I use one in my 65 deluxe).
A very thick, rich tone. NOT a great speaker for someone who prefers
to emphasize a twangy, glassy tone.

Buy the Book!

I cleaned up my tab for Sonny Boy's Help Me and made it into a short book. There's a Kindle version for 99 cents, and if you buy the paperback you get the Kindle free.
