G12-65
A forerunner to the G12T-75, the G12-65
was originally created as a higher-power
handling version of the G12M Greenback.
Recognised as the voice of 1980s rock and
blues, the speaker was particularly popular
in 4x12 cabinets and is considered by many
to be the finest speaker ever produced for
use in this classic configuration.
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 ’80s with almost
unnerving accuracy.
