| Celestion G12-65 Heritage
12" 65 Watt Guitar Speaker 16 ohms
Heritage Series
Hand-assembled at our facility in England, the Celestion Heritage Series speakers are faithful re-creations of the genre-defining drivers that stacked up behind the most influential guitar players of the 60s, 70s and 80s. As the precise design, raw material specifications and manufacturing techniques evolve to accommodate new technologies and processes over the years, so the sound of a speaker shifts in subtle increments which, taken collectively, significantly modify the tone. The Celestion Heritage process identifies the most desirable version of a driver from a given point in time, and sets about the painstaking process of regressing the speaker development back to its origins to recapture the particular sonic qualities of the era.
Using original blueprints and materials specifications, no stone is left unturned in pursuit of the original sound. Adhesives and edge treatments that are no longer commercially available are reformulated. Magnet assemblies and coil formers that have been changed or re-designed over time, are once again produced exactly as they were. And authentic labeling and solder-only tags are used to bring these exquisite old speakers to life once again.
Celestion G12-65
Originally created as a higher-power handling variant of the G12M Greenback, the G12-65 is widely regarded as one of the best speakers ever produced for use in a 4x12 cabinet.
With its fast attack and tightly controlled low-end, the G12-65 became a firm favorite in the ’80s with hard rock players. The precisely tuned midrange and crisp defined top-end contribute to an aggressive crunch sound that punches through the mix while the mid-range warmth and detail give weight and depth to single notes.
