As one of the world’s most recognized and manufacturers of guitar loudspeakers, known as the "Voice of Rock & Roll" Celestion continuously explores new possibilities in guitar speaker design, particularly when it comes to the tone characteristics of new cone materials. Hemp is one of those materials that - aside musicians' affinity with anything that has to do with Cannabis sativa - has been extensively experimented for textile fabrication and is recognized in the production of speaker cones.
The new and highly-anticipated G12M-50 Hempback guitar speaker, takes Celestion in an exciting new direction. The first-ever hemp cone guitar speaker built by Celestion, the Hempback represents a new development in the company's never-ending pursuit of tone. Celestion describes the Hempback as "distinctive and well-defined, delivering a balanced low end, plenty of mid-band character together with smooth, silky highs." The material was specifically chosen for its tonal character and was combined with a medium-weight ceramic magnet, which helps to create a model that is particularly well suited for American voiced amps, for example in combos such as a Fender Deluxe Reverb or Blues Jr.
