The Mesa/Boogie 1 x 12 Boogie 23 is an open-back guitar speaker cabinet aimed at vintage tone, classic looks, and maximum portability. The 1 x 12 Boogie 23 is a larger, deeper version of the Boogie 1 x 12-inch cab that's tailor-made for players who require a big, open-back sound from a single cabinet. This guitar cab comes loaded with a Black Shadow MC-90 speaker, which is renowned for its warm lows, smooth mids, and bell-like highs. The 1 x 12 Boogie 23 is a great choice for traditional blues and R&B, as well as classic rock and modern country. For classic Boogie tone with a small footprint, you can't go wrong with the 1 x 12 Boogie 23. This has never been gigged and I used it to warm up Tele's and Strat's a little so I could use them w/o having to swap to a humbucker guitar.
