I have to agree with Dman. True guitar drivers are the way to go. Most smaller guitar cabs are open backed anyway. They are made to take the hammering of a plectrum on metal strings. You don't lose a lot to bass cancellation with an open back when low [guitar] E is about 82Hz fundamental and probably 75% of the energy is from higher harmonics anyway. I often see Eminence speakers widely marketed. I believe they produce custom orders for amp-makers but I still wouldn't want them.
Celestion are a safe bet; JBL Pro, Electrovoice, Altec, Cerwin Vega are "RollsRoyce" but not necessarily better sounding. Others are a mixed bag. Note how high fs is on these linked drivers. These are not better in sealed boxes.

cheers,

Graham
