I just bought Rigel A+ Deluxe #2234. I tried Facebook, calling and emailing Pete Langdell but no response. Does anyone on here have an approximate date of manufacture?
Thanks
Charles

#2435 sold on Reverb awhile back and it was a 2005, if that helps. You could probably say “early 2000’s” and satisfy,ist people.

Eric Foulke posted this in 2009. Don't know of a way to verify but really don't have a reason to doubt it is correct. Better than the typical "contact so and so" responses that dot all of these conversations.

Scott,
The information came directly from Pete Langdell. As I remember there were a lot of Rigel dating questions at that time so this was a way to head them off.
My Rigel is #1266, made in the Jeffersonville shop.
