Depends on how old it is. They were producing the AL for a number of years before the compensated nuts became standard issue. I have a '96 AL with a standard nut...
Compensated nuts became standard from 2006. But note that a compensated nut is thicker (front to back) than a non-compensated nut. If the non-compensated nut was a replacement of a compensated nut the slot in the neck that the nut sits in would be wider than the nut or obviously filled. That doesn't seem to be the case here and so I'd guess the Albert Lee here is a pre-2006 instrument.
Remember, while us EBMM fans love compensated nuts, 99.999% of all recorded guitar music was recorded with a standard non-compensated nut, and most of that was recorded without electronic tuners in the studio. It's OK. If the guitar sounds and plays well, it'll be great.
So this guitar must be a rather old model. Nothing wrong with that, especially because the body, the paint is in excellent shape. I got it at a sale at a reasonable price, given its age.
I just showed it to an apprentice guitar tech, and his guess was that the nut is the original nut. He found a bit of a hump in the neck, but assured me that it could be fixed with an adjustment. I hope so.
After my frustration trying to buy a Made in Mexico Player series Telecaster, I was ready to step up to a US made Professional series guitar - and right at that moment I found this.
It is not a Telecaster, but close enough!
I suspect it will need a re-fret job. I hope that is not smth prohibitively expensive. I never got one done.
This guitar has one additional advantage: it is the same burst as my HH, so my wife will most likely never tell them apart!
If you post the serial number in the sticky thread at the top of the page someone from EBMM Customer Service will give you the build date of the guitar. Here's a link to that thread:
