I still can’t believe how good the 2x12C sounds compared to my old Av*t*r. The SA [StoneAge] just has better note definition and clarity. The Av*t*r is way more mushy and fizzy sounding, same speakers in both cabs.  I’m just switching between cabs, everything else being the same. Also reverb and effects sound way better through your cab as well. Love the large check grilcloth too....great work John.

2x12C Celestion Heritage 65's

It was a great day. The day my StoneAge 4x12 cabinet was due to arrive. Passing the time in the basement studio playing guitar with a friend.  I had attached a note firmly to the front door with direction for the driver to knock loudly or call my phone.  After a long wait and a lot of playing, I stopped playing just in time to hear a diesel truck engine start up and drive away.  Rushing upstairs, I opened the door to see the tail-lights of the delivery truck rounding the corner, as it drove away.  I had missed the knocking, and the call.  No time to waste, I ran as fast as I could across the field in front of my house, hoping to catch the truck.  My friend stood in a daze on the front porch, watching sand kick up off my slippers as I ran. (No time to put on real shoes you know!)  Luckily, the truck turned right instead of left and I was able to jump in front of it, flailing my arms frantically at the driver to stop the truck.  She saw me in my desperate moment, took pity on me, and came around the block to deliver my cab.

Hi John,

The cab is great [sounds huge considering it's size]

I'm thinking that when this M breaks in [boy, is it stiff] this will be a most excellent sounding rig. Your materials/workmanship and obvious attention to detail make for one fine product. Thanks VERY much!

Hey John,
   The cabinet got here on Friday, as scheduled. I have to say that when I unpacked it, it was not
quite what I expected. By that, I mean: The tolex was perfect. The grill was perfect. The piping was
perfect. With the back panels off, the joint work on the cabinet was prefect. Absolutely no glue slop to be found anywhere. Just good solid finger joints that are, again, perfect. I was absolutely blown away by the build
quality of your cabinet.  I searched high and low for any flaws in the materials and workmanship, but was
completely unsuccessful. Your work was impeccable. I am so happy and very impressed. Thank you so much for
my personal note on the inside as well! That was too cool!
   Obviously, I was curious about the tone.  I plugged in my Dr. Z Carmen Ghia and went straight in
with my Tele. I had the amp at the sweet spot around 5, and..... WOW! It was big and clear with the right
amount of bottom. The mids were smooth. The highs sparkled. The tonal spectrum was very broad. A few of
our resident guitar nerds played it and checked it out with my Tele and a Les Paul Junior with 2 P90's. From
a chicken picker to a shredder, they each really liked the cabinet with that head. On Saturday night, I used that cab with the Dr. Z and  my pedalboard with my Tele. The guys in that band were very complimentary of the cab and they all noticed the difference in the tone.
   I am so looking forward to this coming Saturday. I'll be playing with "Petty Theft", the Tom Petty tribute
band I'm in. I'll be using the JTM45 with the cab, so I'll get to hear it at volume. They are a LOUD band,
so I usually play that head around 4. I'm sure it's going to be awesome!
   Again, thank you so much for the GREAT cabinet and the GREAT customer service! I will certainly recommend you
highly to anyone needing a killer cabinet in the future!

{S.C.C. 2x12C w/Celestion Heritage 'M'}

   From the very first Email, it was evident that John is a
perfectionist about his cabs. I called him and we spoke for quite a
while about the different types of tone that I would want.... we
decided to go with his 2x12A cab, with 2-Celestion Golds. He sent me pics
all along the way of building it (since he builds everything completely
by hand), alot of detail goes into making the cabs perfect.  That's
just about sharing info and including the buyer in the process of
completion. I also asked for an open back with a 3rd panel to close it
if I wanted, and John took the time to make the piece for me, and make
sure it fit perfectly snug. He also made a full back for me in case I ever just wanted to use a full
back instead. Of course there was an upcharge for these things, but it
was very reasonable.
  When he finished, it looked outstanding, John took great care to do a
super packing job as well and when I got it, I was extremely pleased
with the workmanship and attention to detail just as much as the
phenomenal sounding cab this turned out to be. I will be ordering
another one soon!

"These cabs are built rock solid with great attention to detail.  The tone is nothing short of stellar.  Bass response is focused/tight with an airy openness that only an open back cab can provide.  Great projection and articulation.   Undoubtedly the best cab I have ever had the privilege of playing through.  If you don't think that cab construction plays a crucial role in the tone chain, think again.   Customer service is above and beyond. "
