FEDS Raid Gibson Factories

[halford]

I would be curious to see what the implications will be. I think one commenter put it correctly though when they wrote, "Anybody that knows ANYTHING about luthiery can easily spot Madagascar Ebony and knows the law. Gibson screwed themselves. It's their own damn fault. Period. End of story." Just that it appears that things were not being enforced in the previous administration. Why would Fender not be made an example of too? Yet, I wonder if it is true where I read Gibson is actually getting the wood back from the 2011 raid?

another question from out side of usa lol


....

did the two administrations have different laws for wood import.... or .... did one just turn the blind eye ?and if so...why?

It can only be some kind of conspiracy for sure.
