Celestion G12M Greenback 8R

For more than 50 years, classic Celestion speakers have played a major role in creating the soundtrack of every decade. Today, Celestion use years of experience to develop guitar loudspeakers that are insisted upon by players across all musical genres, drawing on our rich sonic legacy while also taking full advantage of modern materials and manufacturing processes. The result of our ongoing development is a comprehensive range of vintage and modern voiced speakers with ceramic or neodymium magnets available with a range of power handling capabilities and sizes. Classic Series speakers are the choice of amplifier designers and players around the world, ensuring Celestion’s ongoing reputation as The Voice of Rock & Roll.

 

The G12M Greenback has evolved over the decades but still retains its essential, sought-after tone. Angus Young has been a Greenback devotee since the early days of AC/DC. This model is voiced with additional broad mid-range attack and restrained top-end to give a forward, punchy attitude to chords and a searing lead tone without fizz. With its well-controlled low-end it can be used singly in low-powered amps, or in multiples for high-power rock heads. It’s an ideal speaker to bring drive and definition to modern high gain amps.
