The G12M Greenback has evolved over the decades but still retains its essential, sought-after tone. Angus Young has been a Greenback devotee since the early days of AC/DC. This model is voiced with additional broad mid-range attack and restrained top-end to give a forward, punchy attitude to chords and a searing lead tone without fizz. With its well-controlled low-end it can be used singly in low-powered amps, or in multiples for high-power rock heads. It’s an ideal speaker to bring drive and definition to modern high gain amps. Celestion Greenback Features This speaker, with its distinctive green magnet cover, shaped the sound of British Rock in the 70s Responds wonderfully to the guitarist's playing dynamics Warm, woody sound, with enough brightness and punch to cut through the rest of the band The definitive Blues and Blues Rock speaker

Sounds perfect with a vintage HiWatt amp. Just the sound I wanted. A bit pricey, but worth it.

I love the Greenbacks. It was shipped quickly and safely in a double box -- the factory Celestion box with padding inside a second box.

4 decades I’ve had speakers that “ sound like” Greenies. Finally I caved. This is THE sound of the 70’s. Absolute vintage tone to die for. Hook a set up parallel and you’ll get mids. Hook up Series and sound like Southern Rock. I’m selling 4 sets of others that “sound like”. Also, I’ve always given credit to Marshall tone, where’s probably 70% of the quality you hear originates with these speakers.

This speaker sounds *gorgeous* with my Fender SuperSonic 60 (head) tube amplifier. I have been playing electric guitar through tube amplifiers for decades. I've experimented with amps a LOT, but not so much with speakers. For the first time, I've gotten to try various speakers side-by-side (by loading them into a 2-12 Fender cabinet, and using a speaker switch to swap back-and-forth).This Celestion G12M "Greenback" speaker sounds as good or better than *any* other speaker I've tried. Furthermore, it has an excellent "efficiency" . . meaning that some speakers don't produce as much sound per Watt as others, but this one gives you a very solid amount of "punch", even at lower wattages. The tone is magnificent. I would recommend this speaker to any electric guitarist for rock guitar (and probably for other styles, as well - - I play classic rock).Just a few more tips: The picture I see in this listing shows an 8-Ohm speaker, but the *description* says 16-Ohms, and that is correct - - I received a 16-Ohm speaker. Also . . . many of the "Greenbacks" have been made in China (I've heard they're pretty good) . . . but this one actually says "Made in England" on it - - so maybe they've re-established manufacturing in ENGLAND, which is superb. I'm very happy with my purchase.
