Alnico Series

From the 60s to the present day, from the British Invasion to modern pickers like Brad Paisley - the unmistakable, musical sound of the Alnico magnet guitar speaker, as pioneered by Celestion, continues to shape popular music.

Back in the late 50s, our friends at Vox and Marshall identified the need for a dedicated guitar speaker to handle increasingly loud and raucous performances. In response, Celestion designed the G12 T530 – the now famous ‘Blue’. The rigid construction and Alnico magnets made them ideal for a new generation of electric guitarists, experimenting increasingly with volume and overdrive.

The Blue was joined by the Gold and G10 Gold as we begun developing new and innovative ways to deliver the essential and much-loved Celestion Alnico character in a speaker with greater power handling capability, for use in more modern amplifier designs. 

The culmination of our continued dedication to the unique sound of the Alnico speaker is embodied in all our speakers, but perhaps best exemplified by the Celestion Cream – built to bring authentic Alnico class to all kinds of amps from 1-watt to 90-watts.

Celestion G10 Gold

Following the great reviews we received for the Gold 12", we realised there was also a need for a speaker that conveyed the Alnico mellowness of the original Blue, with the speed and response of a 10" driver.

The G10 Gold is the ultimate 10" speaker,blending unmistakable Alnico class with a rich low-end, creamy mid-range and vintage chiming top-end. Springy, warm, revealing and highly expressive, it can be used singly or in pairs to add a classy sheen to any amp, or in a 4x10 configuration for higher volume depth, warmth and shimmer, with less of the boom associated with 4x12 cabinets.
