The reason I went with the P12R was that the speaker’s 25 watts seemed like a better match to the amp’s 12 watt output rating:īefore I continue I’d just like to state that I really love the Eminence and my decision to try something else was born out of pure curiosity (since the original 5E3 Deluxes supposedly had Jensen P12Rs installed).Īlso, I read several reviews stating that the current Jensen P12R speaker’s are nothing like the vintage ones, so I wanted to see if that was true as well.Īnyway, aside from all that, the Eminence and Jensen P12R speakers are vastly different.įor one thing, the Eminence is much louder than the Jensen P12R (which has a Sensitivity of 93.7 dBs).
I went with the Jensen P12R Alnico 12” speaker rated at 25 watts instead.
Mine came with an Eminence “Specially Designed for Fender” Alnico 12” speaker, which I believe was first installed on the (then new) 2016 Fender 57 Custom Deluxe introduced at NAMM that year:īefore that, it appears Fender went with a Jensen P12Q Alnico 12” speaker rated at 40 watts (in the previous Fender “57 Deluxe Reissue”) but that is not the one I decided to go with in this shootout. I’m sure people here are getting sick and tired of me doting over my Fender 57 Custom Deluxe 5E3 (circa 2019), but I just can’t help but continue trying to see how much more sweetness I can squeeze out of it - and to that end I had to hear for myself how a different speaker might affect things.
