Celestion says:The originalG12M of the 1960s was Celestion’s first guitar speaker to use a ceramic magnetand paved the way for high power guitar amplifiers. The G12M uses a mediumweight magnet to produce a sound that is smooth and warm but bright enough tohold its own against any rock backline. The G12M Greenback has the essential,sought- after tone which made Angus Young a Greenback devotee since the earlydays of AC/DC. With its well-controlled low end it can be used singly inlow-powered amps, or in multiples for high-power rock. It’s an ideal guitarspeaker to bring drive and definition to modern high gain amps.Known simplythese days as the ‘Greenback’, the G12M’s fabled ‘brown tone’ is characterisedby a warm, controlled low-end, a rich, vocal mid-range and a delicate, detailedtop-end. Driven hard, these speakers exude warm, crunchy chords and sweetsearing single-notes.https://celestion.com/product/24/heritage_series_g12m/
All my speakers have an honest write-up as Iam an obsessive audiophile with an ear for quality. I havemixed for pro musical events and was the joint lead-guitarist in a classic rock/ metal band. Having accumulated various guitar speakers over the years to’try-out’ the distinctive nuances of each type, I now have many unitssitting around and the loft conversion needs done…All have all been tested with a big full-range clean sound as well as an overdriven rock sound to ensure that I will not be receiving any complaints. All speakers have perfect performance as per manufacturer’s specification, and other characteristics are detailed. All frames, gaskets and terminals’ integrity are guaranteed. I have set a starting bid price which is reflective of the real bottom value of the speaker based upon current new / second-hand purchase prices and availability on the market.Please don’t worry about any cosmetic marks you may see from the photos, these are in excellent functional and structural condition.Please check out my other speakers available on eBay.
