Manufacturer's Description for Celestion Vintage 30 Classic Series Guitar Speaker (60 Watts, 12 in.)

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 new 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.

Celestion Vintage 30 Features

- Modern guitar loudspeaker designed to handle high output with vintage tone and style.
- Tight and responsive single note definition, with masses of volume and sustain.
- 100dB sensitivity makes the Vintage 30 ideal for use with high gain valve amplifiers.
- The first choice for many modern rock guitarists.

Celestion Vintage 30: 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 four 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 new designs, each model has been created to perform in every conceivable situation.

4.5 out of 5 (61 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
"The speaker that truly delivers.....and much more."
Sound: I have this speaker in my Fender Hot Rod Deluxe. I play Country Music along with my Fender Telecaster. This combination is very clean, powerful , and loaded with tone. I plan to replace the Black Widows in my Twin Reverb with Vintage 30's very soon! Feature: The speaker is very well built and looks as good as it sounds. It carries itself perfectly in my kind of music. Quality: This speaker in conjunction with my Hot Rod Deluxe is a very reliable, powerful combination suitable for any gig. I've used it outside, in ballrooms, and on our last cd. No disappointments whatsoever! Value: The value is surprisingly great considering the low price. Manufacturer Support: No. I haven't dealt with them. The Wow Factor: It's fantastic. Overall: Ten years or more. I thought I was happy with the Peavey Black Widows in my Twin until I bought my Hot Rod Deluxe with the Celestion Vintage 30. I only hope my Twin sounds as good with a pair of Vintage 30's in them.
Style of Music: Country

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "The Best Replacement Speakers That Money Can Buy!"
Sound: These vintage 30's sound amazing! Excellent sound quality. You will get good low end and mid range from these speakers and the highs sound great as well. I can play all styles of music with these speakers and you can, too. Feature: These speakers really don't have any special features, but the magnet is much bigger than the stock speaker that I replaced. Quality: When I first took these speakers out of the box I could tell that I had some very well made speakers. I email Celestion before buying these speakers because they were made in China. They explained that the factory uses the same quality parts as they use in England. So, don't worry. Not even about the glue that is used! Value: These speakers are worth the price. Every bit. Manufacturer Support: They answer emails right away and will tell you what speaker to buy and not to buy. Overall: IMO, these are the best replacement speakers that one can buy. I put these speakers in my Genz Benz G Flex 2X12 cabinet. Now I have that Rectifier sound without the huge price tag. The way that the G Flex cabinet is baffled, the Celestion Vintage 30 60watt speakers produce a sound that will make you hate to put your guitar down!
Style of Music: Jazz, Blues, Funk, Rock, Acid Jazz & Techno
