I am looking to purchase one of two instruments, a 1908 Gibson A3 or 1906 "Orville Label," (small pick guard, glued to top). The Orville label mando was refinished many years ago. I've always loved the sound of the Gibson A models, but know little about the earlier designed model. It appears to have a thicker top, (photograph), but not sure. Does anyone have any experience with them or can speak of the sound, compared to the later A models? I would appreciate any information/suggestion/opinions. Thanks!
