Product Description

Think of your all time favorite guitar solo - chances are it was played through Celestion loudspeakers. When a toughened G12 radio loudspeaker was combined with an early guitar amplifier back in the 50's, who could have imagined the sound would be so influential. But the soft, creamy overtones produced by an overloaded valve amp through a Celestion speaker had defined a whole style of sound; one that powered the emerging guitar heroes of the period and, during the next 4 decades, became the undisputed Voice of Rock 'n Roll.

Be it Manchester Brit-pop, L.A. shred-metal, or Seattle grunge, it's more than likely coming at you through a Celestion. Most of the classic names in guitar amplification continue to rely on the unique tonal characteristics of Celestion loudspeakers to produce their trademark sounds.

G12M Features
This speaker, with its distinctive green magnet cover, shaped the sound of British Rock in the 70's.

Responds wonderfully to the guitarist's playing dynamics.

Warm, woody sound, with enough brightness and punch to cut through the rest of the band.

The definitive Blues and Blues Rock speaker.

About the Classic Series
Beginning with the legendary Celestion Blue, the world's first dedicated guitar loudspeaker, these Classic speakers have delivered many of the memorable guitar performances in contemporary music over the past 4 decades. Hand-built, using traditional methods to retain their unique tonal characteristics, the Classics are considered by leading guitarists and amp manufacturers as the finest guitar loudspeakers that money can buy.

To experienced ears, each of the Celestion Classics is instantly recognizable: the Blue for its exceptional dynamic range, the Classic Lead for its presence, the Greenback for its warmth, the Vintage 30 for its definition, the G12H for its tight bottom end, and the G12T-75 for its pure, unadulterated grit. No wonder Celestion Classic loudspeakers are the guitar world's Number One choice.

Six guitar loudspeakers that have come to define the voice of rock and roll.

From authentic vintage reissues to cutting edge designs, each model has been created to perform in every conceivable situation.

Highest quality materials and components ensure supreme reliability and unparalleled tone.

"Hear the Glory"
Sound: This is a nicely balanced speaker with good full bass, killer mids and warm, clear highs. Feature: Great components make great sound. Ease of Use: It's a speaker! Quality: Nice heavy-duty chassis and good overall construction. Value: I only paid $100.00 new for this and am very satisfied with the product. Manufacturer Support: Haven't dealt with them. The Wow Factor: If you're a guitarist on the eternal quest for tone- don't ignore your speakers! The Greenback has dramatically changed and improved the sound of my amp. Highly recommended. Overall: I think I'll be quite satisfied for awhile.

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!
