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 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.

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.

No wonder Celestion Classic loudspeakers are the guitar world's Number One choice.

"Vintage 30 and class-A amp"
I recently bought a Laney VC30 all tube class-A combo amp. I replaced the HH Invader speaker with a Vintage 30, and boy! What a difference. The Invader sounded okay, but coudn't come close to the creamy warm, "woody" tone of the Celestion. I play a telecaster with Van Zandt pickups, and combined with the midrange warmth of the Vintage 30 (and the right tubes of course), the tone is fantastic. That's why I'm getting 2 more Vintage 30s for an extension cabinet.
