Rigel a plus differences

[frankblackcat]

Hi, I was looking at a second hand A plus O on Elderly, and was just wondering if anyone could tell me what the main differences are between an A plus and an A plus deluxe (apart from age). #Thanks in advance

Fancier hardware, if I recall. Nothing that should have anything to do with the sound. Maybe flamier maple, too.

Edit: I just looked at the one at Elderly. That's a very nice price.

If memory serves me well (and I must admit that it frequently does not ;) but I want to think that the original A Plus may have been the predeccessor to both the A Natural and A Plus Deluxe, so its features might fall somewhere between the two.

Gold hardware rather than nickel, maple w/ more figure, inlaid headstock rather than decal, and a 3-piece neck are about it I believe.
