If the G12M was to become a classic, it was
the G12H with its heavier magnet that really
characterised the sound of rock guitar for
the new breed of player that emerged in the
1960s. Listen to any Hendrix recording and
the chances are you’re hearing the
unmistakably creamy tones of the G12H.
Originally available in two versions – low
resonance for bassists and high resonance
for guitarists – both were in fact embraced
by guitar players for their unique tonal
characteristics.
The new Celestion G12H is a perfect recreation
of the low resonance model, right down to the
voice coil former material, glue formulations
and vintage, solder-only tag panel. Suitable for
use in all cabs, it exudes thick, syrupy tones
with a deep, growling bottom end.
