I'm interested in some thoughts on Gibson white top A3s. From Dan Beimborn's Gibson Guide (posted on the Cafe) I know they were made from 1902 to 1922. I am considering a white top purchase. Waiting for a serial number but it looks like it may be from the 1918-1922 period. Any insight/comments on sound, desirability, re-sale etc? Aesthetically I prefer pumpkin tops from that era, but this one came available from a trustworthy sound engineer friend. I haven't played it but will probably take it for a spin on 48-hour approval.
