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 guitar speaker to bring drive and definition to modern high gain amps.

Description

Made in UK

Celestion’s production of the G12M Greenback 25W moved back to the United Kingdom.  The G12M Greenback 25W 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:

  • There is a thick manufacturer’s sticker that says “Made in UK” on the side of the speaker’s back cover (see product photo).  That photo’d speaker is an opened box but you will be shipped a NIB, unopened box. 
  • In the photo you can zoom in and see that the large circular sticker on the back of the magnet cover reads “Celestion International”.  This does not indicate that it is not made in UK at this time, even if it once may have.
  • It says “Made in UK” on the sticker on the unopened manufacturer box that it ships in. See bottom right of photo. 
  • The “Made in UK” on the sticker you see in the main photo is on the box of four.
