Everybody Needs A Little Gold [Winter NAMM 2008]

18 January 2008 — At the 2008 NAMM show, Celestion, the original guitar loudspeaker company, announce the launch of the G10 Gold. This 10-inch alnico magnet speaker is designed for players who want all the tone of a Celestion Gold or Celestion Blue in a 10-inch format.

With the introduction of the G10 Gold, players can now obtain the cherished Celestion vintage alnico tone in a 10-inch loudspeaker.

The alnico magnet Celestion Blue was the world’s first purpose-built guitar loudspeaker and remains Celestion’s flagship guitar speaker to this day. The Celestion Gold--also featuring an alnico magnet and launched just two years ago to tremendous pluadits--gives players the same tonal signature as a Blue, in a higher power (50 watt) format.

The G10 Gold, with 40-watt power handlig and available in 8 or 15 ohm formats, has been described as having a rich bass response, with a creamy mid-range complexity and soft vintage chiming top-end. The G10 Gold has a tone that is springy, warm, revealing and enormously touch-sensitive. Individually or in a pair it will add a classy sheen to any amp, or can be used in a 4x10 for higher volume depth, warmth and shimmer.
