Rigel & Pete Langdell are alive and well!
I could have put this in the other thread discussing the three year anniversary of the passing of Rigel. But it's too good a bit of news to let it get lost in that other thread.
After three years and alot of headache and heartache for Pete Langdell, Rigel and Pete are alive and on the verge of doing well.
Pete has liscensed Rigel to Gold Tone for standard models of Rigel. Anything and everything that varies from that will be done by Pete under the Rigel name. It's been a long hard slog for a very talented luthier/designer ... but he's pulled through and is excited about the future.
Sorry to cut the wake short ... but let's start celebrating!
More info at Rigel's website.
No financial interest on my part ... but as the ecstatic owner of an A+ Deluxe and a phenomenal I-110 ... and living fairly close to Pete's shop ... i am one very happy picker.
