Condition
Mint condition — exceptionally clean, well cared for, and one of the nicest examples you'll find. Tolex, grill cloth, hardware, and feet are all in outstanding shape. The cabinet is solid, rattle‑free, and sounds exactly as it should. These open‑back Lonestar extension cabs are extremely hard to find on the used market, especially in this condition.
Description
The Mesa Lonestar 1×12 open‑back extension cabinet is a rare and highly musical piece of Mesa engineering. Designed to deliver the wide, three‑dimensional spread of a great combo amp, it fills a room with warm, blooming mids and airy top‑end detail. Musical and expressive feel that suits blues, roots, rock, and studio work perfectly.
Mesa didn't produce many standalone open‑back Lonestar cabs, and most owners keep them paired with their combos for life. Finding one by itself — especially in mint condition — is uncommon. If you've been hunting for a premium 1×12 that feels big, open, and effortlessly musical, this is the one.
