Somewhat rare maple neck P90 Agile LP at GC?
I texted @pratteman and told him that I thought this wasn't a terribly common model but that I didn't follow such things too closely. He agreed on both counts. Told me to share it here and say hi for him.
It's not up on their site yet, but I think the price was $379. This would be the Bridgeton, MO location. Zip code 63044 if you need to narrow it down.

I don't recall ever seeing a 3000 with a maple fingerboard to be honest. Seems like that was usually a 2000/2500/2800 thing but could certainly be wrong ( and often am )!

Scott, my fawlty memory is disagreeing with you as I seem to remember the 3000 but not the 2xxx models.
And I could just as easily be wrong.
Guess we will have to wait for @TobiJohn to tell us what he owns.

I've got a few ALs but nothing with a maple fretboard. I think I might have seen one left-handed model in the used market a number of years ago but I don't recall which series it was from...

MN was the acronym Kurt used in the description for the models with the maple fingerboard and I can't find any 3xxx at all on old rondo pages, but I can find several 2xxx
For example
https://www.rondomusic.com/product8610.html ( 2500 )
https://www.rondomusic.com/al2500mnocean.html ( 2500 )
Having said that, in my results for a 2800 the exact guitar being sold shows up, so there you have it Thanks googlez

Scott, I think the reason I remember the 3000 was because (I think) that was the one the guy made an ass of himself on the old AGF
claiming the "ebony inlays" were maple with ink on it.
If you remember, that eventually caused Kurt to saw up the neck on one and post pics on AGF showing it was in fact ebony?

Great investigative work, Scott! Generally I like rosewood or ebony more than maple, but I kind of like this one!uwmcscott wrote: ↑Mon Oct 04, 2021 6:30 pmMN was the acronym Kurt used in the description for the models with the maple fingerboard and I can't find any 3xxx at all on old rondo pages, but I can find several 2xxx

I don't remember that but it's a pretty awesome story! I do remember several people making asses of themselves over the years here but thankfully few and far between.mickey wrote: ↑Mon Oct 04, 2021 6:34 pm Scott, I think the reason I remember the 3000 was because (I think) that was the one the guy made an ass of himself on the old AGF

Interesting that the maple fretboard models do not have the first fret trapazoid inlay, like the rosewood and ebony fretboard models. Yet, this one does have the first fret square inlay like a LP Custom
My playing is always better after some good beer
Check the first link in Scott's post above. It has trap inlays.

Literally right after you left my house last night, I get a text from Jim Schaffner saying "I couldn't pass this one up!" Here was the pic he sent:

@nomadh @dabbler I too once owned an Albino....Sold it to Big Pig Dave
@mickey The marker fiasco was with a line in the SX family....The model escapes me...
I want to say it was the SX version of the Agile version of the PRS...
I think it had a name of a WWII plane...
But I could be waaaayyyyy off base.

@mickey Was it the Agile Hawker?
Your guess is as good as mine?
I thought it was an AL-3k?

@uwmcscott No...the guitar had trapezoid inlays. Someone accused Kay-Z (Kurt Zentmaier) of coloring them with a sharpie.
G-Damned you Major Tom for screwing up the AGF history!!!
