There's a very good reason why Fender offered JBL's as a factory upgrade to the Twin Reverb and other selected models......

Once you hear one you'll know why.

So cool. JBL.

So the Twin on top powers the cabinet below... gotta be for Like AT&T stadium?

I'm in clubs and churches. LOL.

Off topic: Tell me about the tail pieces on your Strats. Interesting! Not that I know much but I've been thinking about putting a hardtail on mine. The new Eric Clapton artist series is like this ... played one and wanted to take it home, naturally.

You don't "put" a hardtail on a Strat.

The guitar's body is either built for it from the git or it is not.

Like I said; don't know much. Just now, though I learned a little more. Makes sense. Thanks.

A hardtail Strat is similar to a standard Telecaster in that it's strung from the rear, with the ball ends residing in steel ferrules inset into the rear of the body......

The bridge itself is screwed directly to the top of the body.
