• This is an *extremely rare* 1972 Studio WEM Starfinder 4x12" cabinet loaded with four 50W Fane 122/17GDs for high-fidelity, studio-quality, output in excellent-to-near-mint condition (both cosmetically with the rexine finish, and it's sonic capabilities).

If you’re viewing the listing, you are aware of the rarity of these cabinets coupled with these Fane drivers. My understanding is that this is a one-off piece. I have personally never seen a Starfinder with the studio (stereo) routing option in the back. This cabinet comes fully protected in a heavy-duty flight case. Please see photos for details.

Some notes on the 50W Fane 122/17GD high-fidelity guitar speakers:

  • Date stamps: 49th Week of 1971, and 15th, 21st, and 27th of Week of 1972, respectively.
  • 17,000 Gauss
  • 2" voice coil
  • 50W
  • 6 ohm.

This cabinet is famously known for use by Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd (e.g., Live at Pompeii) and David Gilmour, throughout his career.

  • Please note - to the best of my knowledge (where it is not officially documented), this cabinet was not owned by any of the aforementioned parties.

This unit has been stored in a studio, meticulously, in a controlled and well-maintained environment, as well as by the previous owner(s).

  • The Hiwatt DR103 is for sell in another listing (not part of this listing/sale).
  • If desired, I have several Fane Crescendo 12As that I could offer with this cabinet as an additional add-on value (please inquire within).

This is certainly a cool piece of the WEM history.

Will ship via UPS, but shipping cost to be negotiated upon purchase (i.e., shipping not included in pricing). Current shipping price is a baseline assuming handling and freight charges, and likely understated given its size/weight. Please send a message if shipping is truly desired.

If local pick-up is an option, that would be ideal (located in Belgium).

Feel free to ask any questions you may have - happy to assist - and please refer to my feedback as I have sold and shipped many high-value items securely.

Cheers!
