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.

(You can tell I never watched Fawlty Towers.)
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...
Delightful mix of insolence, arrogance and narcissism
Proud RINO trapped in a heavy metal chassis
Growing up, only kid in the neighborhood with an Uncle Ahkbar
So it does have the 3000 on the truss rod cover from my recollection. If anyone's interested enough for me to take more shots of it or wants my impressions I can run over there pretty quick.

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
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?

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.
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

Check the first link in Scott's post above. It has trap inlays.

Yeah, but not at the first fret like the other AL models always had. I always thought the trap inlay at the first fret was kinda weird

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.
Thanks googlez
