If you like the Ghia....especially if you are a tele player, get the Tonker! An amazing combination. I had a Celestion GB in my Z 1-12 cab but it just wasn't enough speaker for my style. I tried the Eminence C-Rex but missed the mid-range honk of the GB. It sounded smoother than the GB but lacked the punch I was hoping it would have. I just put in the Tonker and man-oh-man what a difference. It gave me much more volume and a very tight and punchy low end. Perfect for my tele. The highs ring through beautifully and never sounds harsh or brittle. Just what I wanted. I also just tried a Swamp Thang with equally instant gratification. As loud as the Tonker with an extremely tight low end. Both of these speakers added more to my already love affair with the Ghia. If you are a pluck, pull, poppin chicken picker like myself, go get you one of these speakers and you'll have poultry in motion!!

I've got a Swamp Thang on the way. My Vintage 30 cone cry has unfortunately worsened with time, almost unbearable at higher volumes above the 12th fret. So many speakers to consider, but hopefully the ST will work out.

Madison I love mine. And the Tonker too for that matter. I'm sure you'll be happy with yours!

I definitely am! This is a keeper...not yet broken in but very smooth, articulate, nice sustain, no harshness and no cone cry. This is my first venture into Eminence, and it's a good thing

If you ever want to try another one try the Tonker. Both are fantastic and are great paired together!

I know the CG is a bit picky, but how does the Tonker take pedals?

Anyone try a Red Fang alone in a Gia? I have one installed in my Carr Mercury and love it!
