This is a 2000 Rigel G-110 mandolin. It is an amazing sounding acoustic instrument with an equally amazing sounding and working pickup. This mandolin has an Adirondack spruce top, Vermont maple back, sides, neck and peg head and was handmade in Vermont. This was in one of the last few batches made totally by hand at Rigel before they got machines. The pickup is one made by Rigel as well. I am the only owner and it has been played and loved for many years. I used this mandolin on tour and in the studio. It does have some scrapes and bruises and needs to be set up, but it's in good condition. With a set up job it will be ready to go 100%. I would say it's currently at 90%. The only real repair it has ever had is a new bridge after an incident with an airline that broke the original bridge in 2007. No damage was done to the body of the mandolin itself. It's never had any other work done to it other than standard set up and fret work. It comes with a hard shell case that is damaged, but still works just fine. I've never had a problem with it. The photos detail all of its flaws, which are simply cosmetic. There is absolutely nothing wrong with this instrument otherwise. This is a great instrument, and it will do for you as it did for me for many years, perform beyond expectation. Please contact me with any questions. Thank you so much.  Kevin Arrowsmith
