I'm ok with it not having binding, but all things considered, I think it's way overpriced for what it is. That has to be half again more than it went for originally.
I wouldn't be too sure about it not having a maple cap.
It looks just like the school al-3000Ms, that didn't have binding, down to the sparkly creme pick guard a TR cover.I had one, and it was great. I also had a separate older 3000m that came with a 3000 (no M) truss cover.
It being one of the originals, it's hard to be certain. But if I were to bet, I'd be all in on it being an AL-3000m.
I agree it is somewhat overpriced, but not outlandishly so. Original price should not matter that much, replacement cost today is more important.
