    Phil, that's my favourite Rigel model. That's the kind i always thought i'd buy one day. Simple, understated beauty.

    EPI Strand !!! Another one of those "some day" dreams; a beautiful instrument to look at, and side by side with Rigel's sculpture inspired by the same style. Must be nice!

    Glauber, here are a few more. The instrument is now owned by a local musician who plays out with it regularly, considers it his main axe.

    Here's my Rigel A+ Standard. I grabbed these from the FOTW website, where I bought the instrument. They've been on there for several years.

    I am sad to hear that my life time warranty is gone. But, I love my A+ Deluxe; even bought it through the Cafe. Still like this pic from the dealer. Living in VT, I was even looking forward to Rigel Fest this year. I have no worries this is a well made instrument
