Just thought I'd share....
This is so cool, my husband just started the restoration on an old A Gibby I picked up and it's order #411 which (I think) makes it the first A3 (1906 according to Spann's guide). It has Handel tuners and inlaid pickguard. She needs quite a bit of work...he just took her neck off, someone had done a poor attempt at a repair. Pics will be upcoming on our webpage.
