Hiwatt - WEM Starfinder SF112 1967

The Starfinder 1967 112F from WEM is a reminder that a cabinet is never just an accessory: it shapes a large part of a guitarist's sound. A direct descendant of the legendary cabinets that marked the 60s and 70s, this model uses the same historic manufacturing methods and dimensions, to offer a sound projection and colour faithful to the spirit of the era.

Behind its sober design lies a 12" Fane Acoustics™ driver, specially chosen for its ability to deliver typical English grain. With a power handling capacity of 75 watts and an impedance of 16 ohms, it meets the needs of precise, clear playing as well as those of natural, expressive saturation.

Mounted low in the cabinet, the speaker enhances the bass response, giving this compact cabinet a surprisingly full sound.

The choice of 18 mm birch plywood is not insignificant: this material gives the speaker balanced resonance and rock-solid strength.

Each baffle is hand-wired and tested in the WEM workshops, now part of the Hiwatt Custom Shops. This attention to detail ensures consistency of sound and durability to meet the demands of both stage and studio.

Compact yet powerful, the Starfinder 112F is aimed at guitarists who want to rediscover the sonic signature of large WEM cabinets, without sacrificing the practicality of a more portable format.

It's the ideal solution for those seeking the authenticity of vintage sound.
