G12-50GL LYNCHBACKOne of the most recognizable names in the world of heavy metal guitar, George Lynch has recorded more than twenty albums, andis famous for his accomplished and inventive guitar playing.

In 2010, George challenged Celestion to build his dream guitar loudspeaker. He wanted a new style of speaker, blending world-renowned Celestion vintage tonality with the capability of providing, on demand, a harder-edged and more modern sound.

We needed to draw on our vast experience of guitar loudspeaker development in order to meet these exacting requirements andafter many hours listening and testing, we engineered a speaker with a unique blend of sonic elements taken from modelsintroduced throughout Celestions history.

Tonally, the G12-50GL Lynchback incorporates the kind of detail and harmonic complexity found in vintage models of the late1960s, combined with increased headroom, and the attitude, aggression and mid-band character of some of the more modernCelestion speakers.

The result is an ideal balance between a detailed vintage warmth that makes your lead sound sing, and an up-front attitude thatdelivers punchier rhythm tones capable of cutting through the mix.

Its hard to escape the sound of the G12H, justlisten to any Hendrix recording and chances areyoull be hearing a whole raft of them powering theguitar out of the mix.

These faithful re-creations capture theunmistakeable mojo of late 60s rock guitar tones.Unsurpassed in a 4x12 for cranking out towering,huge power chords, the Heritage Series G12H (55)features the 55c/s bass cone.
