Mine is a 2016 made in vietnam AL. Second owner as I checked the serial number with Kurt and I bought it from the guy Kurt sold it too.It as a nice 3 piece walnut/maple neck. Seller claimed almost no play and I believe him Body is full thickness at 1 15/16ths. The pics show it as blue but it's more on the green side of turquoise, the back is dark green. First owner set it up well except pickup height I did that and wow. These are not the standaed agile pups though i think they are stock.Bright articulate but warmish great for rock and blues. Honestly I wouldn't hesitate to buy another guitar out of whatever factory made this. I recall trying to find flaws and what I found were where the upper bout met the neck and one corner of the headstock the binding was cut at a slight angle leaving less than1/16th gap on a corner of the binding. The case in the pic is what he sent it in with lots of bubble wrap It now has a 'tweed' case that fits. I did replace the stock knobs with creme speed knobs.

Rondo really knocked it out of the park with those ocean bursts, and yours is a really good example of that. They are gorgeous. Congratulationw.

I so wish Kurt would’ve made an ocean burst with the Floyd, I’ll keep looking.

I wish Kurt had gotten a bigger run out of Vietnam I think it was from the World factory there. But everyone freaked at a non Korean Agile.I mean if your only complaint about a $400 retail guitar is like a 1/32 gap on one edge of the binding where it hits the body and the sharp corner of the headstock, you're grasping at straws for complaints. On a $1000 guitar yeah , maybe.
