Rigel A+ Deluxe Mando


A-Plus Deluxe
The Rigel A-Plus is a loving nod to the classic A-style mandolin translated through the wizardry of Pete Langdell and his talented team of luthiers into a sleek and beautiful powerhouse of a mandolin. With radiused sides, carved maple back, carved and painstakingly tuned spruce top, maple neck, radiused ebony fingerboard, nickel Schaller tuners and Rigel tailpiece and internal piezo, these elegant instruments are powerful, bright, responsive and woody, with a very comfortable neck. They are simply a delight to play. The A-Plus will turn heads everywhere it’s played.

A-Plus Deluxe: Figured maple back and sides, a 3-ply maple-ebony-maple neck and gold-plated hardware make the already gorgeous A-Plus a knockout.

Rigel mandos have a radiused, ebony fingerboard...Loar-reproduction ebony bridges, plated-brass Rigel tailpieces and Schaller tuners, hardshell case is included...This is a superb acoustic electric mando that plays really well. In fact, it plays itself. You cannot find a better neck than what the Rigel offers. Smooth, fast and easy! This combination, with the capability of plugging in, allows you as a player to approach your mando playing with finesse. Now's the chance to capture those nuances and subtleties that escape on the average acoustic mando.

Rigel says: "The A-Plus is a nod to the classic Gibson A-model mandolin translated through the amazing skills of Pete Langdell, creator of the Rigel G-110. With radiused sides, carved maple back, carved and carefully voiced spruce top, maple neck, ebony fingerboard, nickel Schaller tuners and Rigel tailpiece, these sleek, elegant mandolins are bright, responsive and powerful, with an extremely comfortable neck. They're a delight to play."

James, I'm sorry it has taken a week to write, but I wanted to take a
minute to let you know that we received the Beard "R" Model and the
Rigel A+ Deluxe in that wonderful Palomino finish. The instruments
look and play beautifully! My wife, Pam and I really appreciate your
time and effort in helping us select these instruments. It was great
doing business with you. Thanks.
