G12M
GREENBACK
Celestion’s first guitar loudspeaker
featuring a ceramic magnet structure, the
G12M ‘Greenback’ presented almost as
much magnetic flux to the voice coil as an
Alnico formulation, but in a much more
compact space. As a result the Greenback
became the guitar loudspeaker that paved
the way for use with higher power
amplifiers. And, of course, the ceramic
magnet presented its own unique tonal
characteristics.

The Greenback has a loud and assertive
character that sounds great through a valve
amp pushed into overdrive. The speaker has
evolved over the decades and still presents
that instantly familiar woody tone, delivered
with a knockout punch.
