15 Celestion<br />
G12H-75 Creamback<br />
Celestion’s G12H guitar speaker<br />
was prized in the Sixties for its great<br />
power handling, tonal balance, firm bass<br />
and pronounced top end. Following the<br />
success of last year’s G12M-65 Creamback,<br />
Celestion has created a Creamback<br />
version of the G12H. Dubbed the G12H-75<br />
Creamback, this 12-inch ceramic magnet<br />
speaker delivers true vintage tone with a<br />
1 3/4–inch voice coil, 100dB of sensitivity<br />
and 75 watts of power handling.<br />

not normally found in traditional singlecoils.<br />

veneer top, mahogany neck and back,<br />
rosewood fretboard, 22 frets, three-way<br />
toggle switch (with individual volume and<br />
tone controls for each pickup), stoptail<br />
bridge and nickel hardware.<br />
