New Celestion Speaker: G12-60

[moltenmetalburn]

Why is it so much less money than a v30?

Is it the lower line parts?

At 90 years old, other manufactures do not really catch our attention, but you the players do. We listen to what you and the amp builders are after and try to come up with solutions. I also see the stage 2-4 nights per week and feed back my experiences. All of that goes into the hopper and we try to hit the mark. It's good to have options these days....be it ours or others. Ok, carry on!

That 's great but this is rig Talk and you need to answer rig related questions! How do these sound broken in? why does the V type look like a Van Halen logo??subliminal marketing? the masses need to know

Ok...I was not even aware so I made a few calls and here's the deal; We had some bits left over from a OEM special (some parts related to a V30, some not). We cooked these up using the left over parts, and then added a little twist to make them their own. They were only built as a special for Mojo. Will we build more....who knows? Therefore pick some up if you are curious and we will await your feedback. To answer the question above, these have nothing to do with an older model.

On the V type label, I have no idea why it looks that way...only so many ways to make a V look cool I suppose!

Now go play your guitars!

Just ordered a pair.

I got a pair of these last week and LOVE them. Pretty much as described......like a warmer/fatter Vintage 30. But without being dull like some of the advertised V30 alternatives. Kind of reminds me of a V30/H30 mix rolled into a single speaker. Can't beat them for the price. I will be buying 2 more.

Eyes, what did you have to give for them?

For the love of gawd please tell me this isn't going to turn into a brown sound speaker discussion

 

[Sphere]

For that price, I will have to bite the bullet, as I'd be putting these in a sealed cab.

Celestion must be busy these days...never heard of this one before either:

I wonder if these are just OEM speakers that Celestion made for customers, that they are now releasing under different names. The V-type could be a Mesa V30 for example.
