| Celestion G10 Gold
10" 40 Watt Alnico Guitar Speaker 15 ohms
Alnico Series
By the late 1950s, the electric guitar had propelled itself from sideman status to centre-stage. With ever more flamboyant guitarists taking the lead, Vox and Marshall identified the need for a dedicated guitar speaker to handle the increasingly loud and raucous performances. In response, Celestion designed the G12 T530 – the now famous ‘Blue’. The rigid construction and Alnico magnets made them ideal for a new generation of electric guitarists, experimenting increasingly with volume and overdrive. Soon the Blue became the sound of the ’60s British Invasion, and over 40 years on we can listen back to hundreds of classic guitar moments voiced by the Celestion Blue, from The Beatles’ I Feel Fine to Bryan Adams’ Summer of 69.
In 2006 the Blue was joined by the Gold, an Alnico speaker that retains the essential character of a played in Blue but with greater power handling, making it ideal for use in modern amplifier designs. The Gold has become a firm favorite with some of today’s hottest players, and is now available from Celestion in a 10" format, as the G10 Gold, so you can look forward to another 40 years of that classic Celestion Alnico sound.
Celestion G10 Gold
Following the great reviews received for the Gold 12", Celestion realized there was also a need for a speaker that conveyed the Alnico mellowness of the original Blue, with the speed and response of a 10" driver.
The G10 Gold is the ultimate 10" speaker, blending unmistakable Alnico class with a rich low-end, creamy midrange and vintage chiming top-end. Springy, warm, revealing and highly expressive, it can be used singly or in pairs to add a classy sheen to any amp, or in a 4x10 configuration for higher volume depth, warmth and shimmer, with less of the boom associated with 4x12 cabinets.
