The newly re-released G12-65 is the latest addition to the critically acclaimed Heritage Series that also features classic recreations of Celestion’s G12M and low-resonance G12H speakers — speakers which helped forge the sound of the electric guitar during the classic 1960s British Invasion.
Known as one of the best 4 x 12" speakers ever produced and identified as the voice of 1980s rock and blues, the G12-65 is hand-built in England adhering precisely to the initial design notes, specifications, materials and construction techniques of the original speaker. Celestion has paid strict attention to detail right down to the voice coil former material, glue formulations and edge-treatment. In addition, close consideration to matching the coil and magnetic flux specifications of the original model has been employed, while particulars, including solder-only tag panels and an authentic period real label, complete the package.
A forerunner to Celestion’s G12T-75, the G12-65 was created as a higher-powered version of the legendary G12M Greenback and designed specifically for use with advanced amplifier technology. Its tone is described somewhere between a Greenback and a Classic Lead 80 — plenty of definition for high gain, yet not too bright or aggressive.
The Heritage Series G12-65 is a 12" speaker with a pressed-steel chassis that features a 65-Watt power rating, 1.75" round copper voice coil, 8 or 15 Ohm nominal impedance, 97 dB sensitivity and frequency response of 80-5000 Hz. In every tonal aspect, the G12-65 remains a painstakingly exact replica of the original allowing guitarists to accurately recreate the cherished rock and blues tones of the classic 1980s era.
