Hi everyone......listen up to what's going on with Gibson Guitar! Please look up the story for yourself......I will give you the synopsis of the story:
-One of Gibson Guitar's factory,located in America, was raided, a couple of days ago. ARMED Federal agents, escorted all employes out of each factory, and confiscated computers, paper files, and pallets of wood used in the makeing of the Gibson Guitar products. It's reported by Gibson Guitar CEO that the target of the raid was the wood, and that the reason was that the Federal Government has determined that the wood purchased was illegally obtained by Gibson.
I don't know the legalaties of the above allagations, and so I can not comment.... BUT:
-The CEO of Gibson Guitar stated that he was informed, by our Federal Government, that Gibson Guitar could avoid these and future problems if they would close down their three factories and re-open in Madagascar (where the wood came from)!!!
WHAT IS HAPPENING IN AMERICA????? It's finally sinking into my thick skull that there is an enemy within. It is troubleing!
-The CEO of Gibson Guitar also posed the question as to why is it only Gibson Guitar that is targeted. NONE of Gibson's competitors are undergoing this kind of scrutiny of attack.
Look into this story and follow it.........this can also affect our future purchases of guitars, as well as, OUR PAST PURCHASES!!!

No wonder manufacturs are setting up over seas. There they can do what they like and do it more cheaply. The US will soon become a third world country.

No guitar is worth a tree species going extinct, in my opinion. That this is supposed to be an example of some New World Order is beyond laughable. Don't forget your tinfoil hats ya'll!
