Questions and Answers Regarding the NEW A Natural
Date: Wed, 29 May 2002

Could you please outline the differences between the A+ Deluxe and A Natural Rigels.

Thanks
Taylor B.

Greetings Taylor,

Glad to assist...I put two side by side and compared every feature of each model as they stand:

1. The Natural has nickel hardware; the A+ Deluxe has gold hardware.
2. The Natural does not have a pickguard; the A+ does.
3. The Natural has a matte finish; the A+ had a gloss finish.
4. The Natural has entry level tuning machines with white plastic buttons; the A+ has high grade tuning machines with peraloid buttons.
5. The Natural has a rosewood fingerboard; the A+ has an ebony fingerboard.
6. The Natural has a rosewood bridge; the A+ has an ebony bridge.

This may not be a complete list. This was the best I could assess while looking at them both close up. Outside of these differences, both models are the exact same size and have lots of attention to detail.
