  • Gibson, like any reputable luthier uses aged lumber. When they purchased their hardwoods it was legal but now it is not. Gibson is the target because they are probably the largest user of ebony woods (not exactly known for their maple fret boards). It's all about raw materials. I cannot own an elephant's tusk but my ivory rosary is legal. Same deal with geetars now. You can't have a pallet of Madagascar hardwood, but you can own a guitar made of it, as long as it was made elsewhere.

  • @butterylicious fuck you asshole Gibson is being singled out because they are republican supporters All the other guitar makers are 'exempt" because they are democratic supporters So fuck you , fuck holder fuck obama and shove a j45 up your faggot ASS

  • @biggerturtle

    Awesome! Such command of the English language. I am very impressed. I would like to see some proof that Obammy said, "Go get them Republican geetar makers". We're on the same side brother. The last thang I want to see no more Gibson USA. Gibson had (key word "HAD") probably the largest surplus of these hardwoods in the USA. The way the feds handled the raid was WRONG, but had they gone in asked nicely, somebody probably woulda shoved a J45 up their faggot ass.

  • China's economy would be nothing without the fat cats selling out the united states.

  • FTG. Gawd I'm sick of the government.

  • If you listened to the full press statement given by Juszkiewicz in front of Gibson Guitars he said that is "the law" where the wood is being exported from. Start listening @5:00 on this video... watch?v=O_-taqM5Sk0

  • PLEASE==DO NOT----BOW! PLEASE STAND UP AGAINST THIS! THIS IS EXTORTION!

  • lets vote for some else instead of Obama

  • @glasseverywhere anyone but obama - donald duck for president he is smarter , wiser, more experienced and has a cute girlfriend instead of a a fat pig for a wife

  • Hmmm... perhaps that is because the laws of Madasgascar (the country with the exploited rain forest) indicates their wood must be finished in their country. It's not as though the US wants the law to be that way, but we kind of have to heed the trade/export laws of our trade partners. This is simply a way for the country with the precious natural resource to retain more value for their product and it's their prerogative.

  • whatever conservative wins in Nov 2012, the need to investigate this crime of the ATF and the Obumbles administration. Going after Americans like this is something you would see in China or Cuba or some other third world shithole. fucking libturds.

  • this administration is the most anti american in history. they go after our fellow Americans with zeal. Sickening.

  • I'd like to hear the entire interview as opposed to one 30 second clip. If any American guitar company "outsourced" their manufacturing / assembly facilities overseas, that would be the death knell for that company.

  • change you can believe in...but nobody told you you will like it! muahahahahahahahaaa

  • I hate the government SOOOOOO much.

  • Wow, corruption in the USA, naaahh

  • USE WOOD FROM THE USA, JUSZKEWITZ, I AM EMBARRASSED AS A GIBSON PLAYER, I WILL BE SWICHTING GUITAR COMPANIES.

  • @chuck3377 I don't think it's Gibson's fault.

  • @HandMeThatHammer Gibson should buy American wood, we have plenty here, it would support jobs here in usa. I believe in freedom of choice, I understand business, if they can get it cheaper overseas , then money says to do it. So our "deomcratic" government should place tarriffs on imported wood to make it the same price as American wood, then the best wood wins, and furthermore I dont mind paying alittle more to know my guitar is made from trees grown here, I want made in usa all the way.

  • @chuck3377 That would be great, except that there is no American, let alone north American ebony trees around these parts, which is what fingerboards, bridges and such are made from. Madagascar happens to be one of the couple of places that such ebony is obtained from.

  • @LibertyOne001 Point taken.

  • Chicago mobsters, that's all.

  • A great question for the upcoming republican presidential debate:

    "what departments of the federal government would you eliminate by execute order?"

  • Stay American Gibson. I don't even play but I will buy some strings for this old guitar I got even though I suck I will buy just to support you and always quality products. And what the f are you going to do about it Bono. The bankers are going after the last big successful US companies to further bankrupt and control the population like sheep. Don't sell out Gibson. Support Gibson. Support America. Support Freedom. Lets Roll. Lets Rock and Roll. Ron Paul2012. watch?v=8kB7OR161-U&hd=1

  • ...on testimony of two persons to the same overt act...

  • Liberation theology has been killing off the music industry and making sure

    that only pc Marxist artists can sell their music. Think about it. This applies to sports as well. And of course you can't be a successful actor unles you belong to the film actors' guild.

  • comrade obama is such a fucking loser, one of the few companies still making quality goods in america,and employin americans- get thee fucked obama

  • the gibson story is just another attempt to supersede the supreme court and defer to u.n. law.

  • it seems self-evident that some audacious group of Gibson artists need to stage a protest concert on the Mall in Washington.

    I'm talking to you, rock stars.

  • @spwb2k ted nugent would be the first one on the list,he may even do it

  • Boy o Boy Baracko Insane Obomba is doing such dandy job of being King Shit!

    Baracko Insane Obomba is trying to destroy America, doing damn good job too!

    Baracko Insane Obombaa is learning more and more about less and less and soon will know nothing about anything~

  • this is leftistism, progressivism, communism at work. All led by the Dems, Obumbles and the professional left. They are more dangerous now then the terrorists. outrageous.

  • @uzimodem You are a very fucked up individual. Not EVERYTHING that exist OUTISDE of your right wing agenda is "liberal". You don't even know the difference anymore between moderate and extremism anymore!

  • @uzimodem this has nothing to do with leftistism or progressivism and everything to do with power and control.

  • @flowmaster45 power and control being excerted by the leftists and there're ideology. get with the program!!! DUH

  • @uzimodem Bush 1,2 reagan are these leftist as well? It's not about politics to these people, they are mafia thugs. wake up!!!

  • @flowmaster45 mafia thugs and leftist?

  • @uzimodem Look I am some what of a progressive while at the same time I hate gun control. I love the 2nd amendment and think it's to protect the people from government, not to hunt. All that being said I hate everything these people you claim are progressives are doing. I don't think any of these people have loyalty to anything at all, let alone a political philosophy. As a progressive I plan to vote for ron paul. Don't disrespect people cause they may share alot of your views.

  • @flowmaster45 : I disrespect people who would destroy our way of life, our freedoms, our basic human rights. They are the leftists, radical progressives, anarchists, communists and other vermin. They all dispise this country and I will never stand aside and let it slide. A fact as solid as granite. And thankfully, only 20% of Americans are libturd, the rest independent and conservative. We the majority will start the correction on Nov 2012, just as we did in Nov 2010.

  • @uzimodem No matter how you feel about leftists or radical progressives, everyone has a right to their own opinion. Calling someone vermin for what they believe only shows how you do not truly value freedom. What happen in 2010 will and has changed nothing. Tea party politics is only hope and change marketed toward fake conservatives. Obama is no different than bush and perry or romney will be no different than obama. I hope one day you can see past the baseball team politics.

  • @flowmaster45 :communists, socialists, anarchists...yes they are vermin. As too the rest of your comment, you can remain jaded or whatever, but I and others are not "fake" conservatives. You rail against it but people like you rarely offer any alternative.

  • @uzimodem When you insult people by calling them vermin, it only shows that you have to resort to insults because you can't debate with ideas. You may call me jaded but what I say is true, there is only one true conservative in Washington and his name is Ron Paul. He is also the alternative that I would offer to you. Anyone else is a fake conservative and if you vote for any one else but him would be the same as voting for obama.

  • @flowmaster45 Ron Paul has ZERO chance of being elected. he is too WAY out there, especially in terms of foreign policy. And as to vermin,I call it like it is. Nazis, they were vermin. Communists, they are vermin. Our enemies are vermin. If you want to kiss there're anus, go ahead. Dont count on me to kiss there're ass.

  • @uzimodem no a vermin is a animal, such as a rabbit or mouse.l A nazi is a nazi and a communist is a communist. Again insults just means you can't keep up with the conversation so you say poop like a 5yr old. Ron Paul has EVERY chance of winning, he is in 1st or 2nd place in most polls. The media ignores him because he is not owned by wall street like dems and rep. Perry worked for al gore and behind closed doors they are all buddys and laugh at people like you buying into everything they say.

  • @flowmaster45 You got it right, unfortunately I fear and know that there isn't enough of us. We'll get Rick Perry or 4 more years of Obama and America will be further transformed into a crappy police state.

  • @nataliefoxx I disagree. Ron Paul is like gangsta rap, they ignored it until they couldn't no more and in the end will pretend they loved him from the start.

  • @flowmaster45 well, in the end that is YOUR opinion. and he will not last long in the race, he will most likely bow out before the RNC convention.

  • @uzimodem which part is opinion? This coming from the person who calls the bush's and reagan leftist mafia thugs.

  • @flowmaster45 your whole "I am better then thou" comments you have been making, well that is your OPINION. and your sentence "bush and reagan leftist mafia thugs" What the hell does that mean? Whatever it means, yes the left are comprised of thugs, not my problem you like to keep you head in a hole in the ground and not deal with reality.

  • @uzimodem see you are so short sighted that you don't remember your own words. You suggested to me in one of your post that reagan and the bush's was leftist mafia thugs. Also you can't keep up with the debate so you have to now put words in my mouth. The only opinion here is yours saying that I am acting better than you. Learn to fight with facts and not fox news or msnbc tactics.

  • @flowmaster45 LOL short sighted? no, I am not. I NEVER said Bush and Reagan were leftist thugs.because they were NEVER Leftist or thugs. You are evidently unable to read or even remember your own comments. I was replying to YOUR comment about them being leftist thugs, which was very confusing since even a retard would know that Reagan and Bush are NOT leftist!!!!DUH!!! & the fact that your are a sancitmounous "I am better then everyone" liberal is very evident in your comments. Get it right.

  • @uzimodem In terms of policy, explain to me the difference between obama and reagan. Try to do this with fact, as in the policy's they have put into place and not media slogans. From what I can see, reagan seems to be more leftist than obama. I say this based on the fact that reagan allowed millions of illegal aliens into our country, raised taxes, debt ceiling and used our military to fight illegal wars. It's easy to fight with slogans but I can see facts escape you. Tv has taught you well.

  • @flowmaster45 hmm, debating with a snob is like you is not very inviting or worthwhile. If you cannot tell the difference between a radial leftist ideologue, who associated with known terrorists, black liberation theologists, known Mao and communist sympthaizers, known anti-capitalists and anti business....well, you are a legend in your own mind. Reagan was none of that. Illegal wars, same talking points of liberals who hate everything.

  • @uzimodemObama is a piece of shit. He is a puppet controlled by wall street. So we are on the same page there my friend. I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire. Reagan was president for iran contra which was an illegal war funded by cia cocaine money(don't forget about central america).Reagan was also a union president back in the day. Whats funny is fake conservatives always say don't trust the government but once the government tells them to be scared or go to war they never question this.

  • @flowmaster45 Well, Reagan began his politcal career as a Democrat, but learned why liberalism is a failure and turned conservative much to his favor. Fake conservatives want a smaller and more efficent govt, we dont hate it. And conservatives didnt want to Libya but the liberals did.

  • @uzimodem The only liberals that wanted libya was the fake ones on tv. I'm not here to convince you not to be conservative, I have conservative views. Just how obama is a fake liberal and I won't fall for his bs, I don't want you to fall for the fake bs of perry, bachman or romney. I hope who ever wins, conservative or liberal they are nothing like the two clowns who came before them.

  • A guitar and a message is more powerful than a gun...

  • Exceppt the next season of dancing with demise of the USA is forthcoming....entertain us.....oh, entertain us...

  • Is anyone suprised?

    REPRESENTATIVE gubment is based on pony express ideologies, whereby we needed someone to leave the USA....and go to D.C. to speak for us. This fraud is becoming unbearable. The people of the states need to take back the power.

  • This isn't just an attack on Gibson guitars . They plan to make anyone taking a Gibson guitar through an airport prove that the wood used in making the guitar is not illegal . If you can't , it will be confiscated . Wait till some big shot rock star loses his high dollar Les Paul or Byrdland . I think they screwed up on this one . Gibson is too well know by rich entertainers and they WILL NOT give up their guitars without a fight . Should have stuck to harassing the Amish and organic hippies .

  • Fallout from raid by federal agents of Gibson regarding the use of illegally imported rosewood from Madagascar

  • @2cOthers The wood wasn't illegal. Not at all.

  • @jbearden - Henry Juszkiewicz is about as honest as Anthony Weiner – read the Financial Times March 29, 2010 story to get real story about this scumball spinner.

  • @2cOthers No. You're full of shit. You don't really know, and you don't really have any real information at all.

  • It's a God-damn shake-down. "Nice little business you got here. Be a shame if anything happened to it."

  • @LambdaKore you got it. this is nothing to do with politics at all and everything to do with money, power and control.

  • Comment removed

  • @LambdaKore Yup, shake-down plain and simple.

    When activist/producer of Eddie Muphy's TradingPlaces fame, THE man who brought Zeppelin to US, Aaron Russo(RIP) used to run a club in Chicago he testified that one night CPD randomly raided it & the sergeant in charge took him to the back & asked if he'd like the "GOLD or SILVER protection plan," for a FEE, just like Chicago mobs would. Sketchy on specifics, but the plans ranged: warnings on raids,$drug-skim,arrest&releas­ed w/NO charge to NO raids.

  • Obama and his jobe creating power. They don't want jobs here, their working for the total and complete failure of our country in order to institute their revolution

  • Yeah this administration, is really trying to generate jobs.. just NOT here in America. This is the insanity you get when liberals are in charge.

  • Wtf?!?! This is criminal! No wonder our unemployment numbers are astronomical! UnFreakingReal!!

  • Fuck this corrupt, moronic excuse for an administration.

  • If Madagascar labor was Caucasian this would not be happening.

  • C'mon Barry, get out of the way, you have the Sadim touch

  • @RADDHR

    bin Obama has the Saddam Hussein touch alright.
