From the 60s to the present day, from the British Invasion to modern pickers like Brad Paisley - the unmistakable, musical sound of the Alnico magnet guitar speaker, as pioneered by Celestion, continues to shape popular music. Back in the late 50s, our friends at 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.
Ultimate 10" speaker, blending unmistakable Alnico class with a rich low-end, creamy mid-range 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.
