Description

LN Discount

This is listed as “open box” not because the box has been opened, but because it is not “New in Box” or NIB.  By LN, we mean the following:

  1. The manufacturer seal has not been broken.
  2. They have not been sold (new).
  3. Their unopened OEM boxes may have the following issues that that should not impact the function of the speaker:  (a) some small dents that would not have made contact with the speaker.  (b) other cosmetic blemishes that will not impede identifying what is contained in the unopened OEM box.
  4. You may hear and feel the speaker traveling inside the new opened OEM box more than you usually would.  Upon request, we can open and reinforced/repair the OEM box internally to secure the speaker for transport after inspecting the speaker.

This Speaker

The shipping damage is only to the surface of the box. It should not have have impacted the containing speaker.  Since buyer’s prefer unopen box, you can see for yourself when you open it.  Otherwise, leave an “order note” for us to open and inspect prior to shipping.
Made in UK

Celestion’s production of this model has moved back to the United Kingdom.  They were, for some previous years, made/assembled in China. If you are looking for English craftsmanship in assembling the same speaker with the same famous tone that we have come to expect, this is for you. 

Really made in UK?

The following should address such questions/concerns:

  • It says “Made in UK” on the sticker on the unopened white manufacturer box that it ships in (see photo).
  • Since these are NIB, please purchase and send a photo of the thick manufacturer’s sticker that says “Made in UK” on the side of the speaker’s back cover, or photo the absence of one to shock us.
  • The speaker does not ship in the brown masterpack box in the photo that also says “Made in UK”, unless you buy 4 of them.

Celestion Vintage 30 16 Ohm 12 inch 60W guitar speaker

Celestions specs for the Celestion Vintage 30 16 Ohm boast:

Back in 1986 a new breed of hard rock player was on the rise. To meet the demands of the players and their increasingly ‘hot-rodded’ amplifiers, we set out to develop a modern guitarspeaker, capable of handling much more power and overdrive. To achieve this, we coupled our ‘H’ magnet (the closest in performance to Alnico) with a new cone and voice coil employing contemporary materials. Our most revealing speaker, the Vintage 30 features enormously detailed and complex overtones, a warm low-end, a famously rich vocal mid-range and a beautifully detailed top-end. Used singly to reveal the complexities in hand- wired boutique amps, or in quartets for a wonderfully intricate vintage 3D crunch, the Vintage 30 sound has been captured on thousands of recordings from a diverse range of notable players including Slash, Steve Stevens and Peter Frampton.
