Tube amp tech owned 1964 Jensen C12N-SA speaker. I have two of them. Price listed is for ONE. Photos shown are of both speakers. This specific version of the C12N was used in Fender Blackface amps like the Deluxe Reverb during the mid-1960s. This speaker delivers a bright, full-bodied tone with clarity, smooth mids, and powerful bass, making it a coveted component for reproducing the surf, rock 'n' roll, and electric blues sounds of the era. Both speakers were recently re-coned.

You are welcome and encouraged to bring your amp and/or cabinet so you can try before you buy. PRICE IS FIRM.

Key Characteristics:

Type: Ceramic magnet, 12-inch instrument speaker.
Era: Associated with the "Blackface Era" of high-end American guitar amplifiers in the mid-1960s.
Original Use: The stock speaker for the Fender Deluxe Reverb amplifier.
Tone: Known for its clear highs, solid mids, and powerful bass, with a "full-bodied" and "in-your-face" sound.
Response to Overdrive: Exhibits a powerful mid-range "bite" that pairs well with overdriven tones.

Historical Significance:

The Jensen C12N became popular when the price of AlNiCo magnets became unsustainable for American manufacturers.
It is considered one of the most important speakers in Jensen's history and epitomizes the iconic sound of the 1960s.

Common Applications:

Restoring vintage American amps such as Fender Twin Reverb, Bassman, and Bandmaster models.
Infusing modern amps with a classic mid-60s Blackface-style tone.
