G37 And G27 Leslies guitar speakers now shipping

Hammond-Suzuki has shipped the first production units of their G37 and G27 Leslie Speakers designed especially for the guitar. The G37/G27 is roughly one third the size and weight of a traditional keyboard Leslie Speaker, but has many of the same components. Unlike the last Leslie designed for guitar in the late 60's; the G37 and G27 have a "real" horn spinning on the top (the same rotor as used on the legendary Leslie 122), and the traditional Leslie rotor on the bottom. A 100 watt channel-switching guitar amp with "tube pre" powers the G37 while the G27 is powered by the user's own amp.

The horn driver is specially voiced for guitar, and the 12" full range speaker is "vintage" style. There are two revolutionary features on the G37/G27 that have never appeared on a keyboard Leslie. One is the (optional) "gas pedal" that gives the player infinite control of rotor speed; the other is a motor control that stops the rotors in the same place (out the front) each time. This allows the guitarist to use the amp without the animation.

MAP pricing for the G37 is $1495.00, and the G27 is $1325.00.
