Business friendly administration indeed.

We’re in an “Obama Haze”.

Take my Gibson guitar from my cold dead hands.

Blue Collar Todd on August 7, 2012 at 10:30 PM

I wish I had a Gibson. I do have a pretty sweet 1978 vintage Alvarez-Yairi DY74 that I can’t play for sh!t but I will never part with in life (my daughter gets it when I’m dead). If I can afford a Gibson before I die I will buy one, even though my playing sucks. Why? It’s a Gibson…why else?

The Feds are the regulators and they have you by the balls at all times.

Welcome to Amerika.

No legislative process, no due process, no review. THIS IS PURE TYRANNY!!!

If the courts were not broken, this would have been thrown out with prejudice, and the rogue agency would pay a huge compensatory fine to the victim. Too bad our court system is polluted with hacks who don’t care about the law or the constitution.

Also notice that Martin, who uses the same woods in its fretboards, was not bothered by this.

No mention of the fact that CF Martin & Co. makes guitars using the same wood, and that they are democrat contributors.

Yep, exactly. That little inconvenient fact came out shortly after Gibson was raided.

In fact what will the government do with the stolen Madagascar wood? Probably sell it to Martin at a bargain-basement price.

Here’s my gracenote for Obama.

Looking at the Gibson inventory page for Killer Vintage.

The’ve got some nice stuff in there, might have to pay them a visit.

I’m only about 4hrs away, in West Tennessee.

Thanks for the link!

To Gibson CEO, I offer this quote: “Peace in our time.”

Each of us has to stand up to this stuff all the time.

Dave Hinson is one of a few people that can make appraisals on guitars.

Absolutely love my Taylor Auditorium Grand CE414 but I may have to swing by the guitar shop tonight and check out a Gibson. I love me some rare exotic wood! Yeah I just set myself up for sarc. :D

A good friend of mine has a really fantastic Taylor acoustic that is the best acoustic I have ever played. Retails around $4,000.

By the way, it sports a bound ebony fretboard with mother of pearl inlay, much like a Gibson Les Paul Custom.

Wonder why they never got raided?

Unions, and publicly available political donation records.

That’s my guess.

DOJ hits Gibson with $300K fine in settlement over exotic wood raids

BS!!!!

but, better yet, even if she doesn’t get any of barry’s precious illegal payoffs, she’s voting in the next election. because along with the dead pets i plan on enrolling any musical instruments… because voter id laws are bad so best to live in the now instead of living in and being disenfranchised in a modern jim crow backwater or something.

boycott/ buycott whatever. the point needs to be to vote this despicable filth out of office. and then put the DemonRat mobsters and RINOs left swanning about on notice that we are not putting up with a champagne socialist gangsta government using its power to punish those with whom it disagrees.

Extortion.
