The Celestion G12-65 is part of the critically acclaimed Heritage Series that also features classic recreations of Celestion's G12M and low-resonance G12H speakers which helped forge the sound of the electric guitar during the classic 1960s British Invasion. A forerunner to the G12T-75, the G12-65 was originally created as a higher-power handling version of the G12M Greenback. Recognized as the voice of 1980s rock and blues, the G12-65 was particularly popular in 4x12 cabinets and is considered by many to be the finest speaker ever produced for use in this classic set-up. Like the original G12-65, the Heritage Series re-creation of this legendary Celestion guitar loudspeaker has a tone that's best described as sitting somewhere between the G12M and the Classic Lead 80, with plenty of definition for high-gain playing styles without being too bright or aggressive. By adhering precisely to the initial design notes, specifications, materials and construction techniques, the Heritage Series G12-65 dishes up the cherished guitar tones of the 80's with almost unnerving accuracy.
