Gibson Guitar
Packing the same power and intensity as the SG Standard, but without all the trimmings, the Gibson's SG Special electric guitar retains the heart and soul of the SG--solid mahogany body and '50s rounded neck profile--while adding dot inlays, silk-screened logo, a pair of ...

Gibson has brought this on them selfs. They have charged the public for years prices on there guitars that many master luthiers have said there not even close to the worth. Gibson has claimed there guitars are 100% usa made thats not the trurh.
"Gibson has known since at least 1990, when they received a U.S. Customs ruling on it, that fingerboard blanks were an HTS 4407 item and could not legally be purchased...Gene Nix (Gibson representative) is quoted from several confiscated emails reporting back to Gibson that he knew the wood was illegal, but thought he could get it anyway."
It's also worth noting that Martin and Taylor backed out of the same deal. Gibson broke the law, period.
Im a proud owner of a Gibson LP Standard. I love Gibson but the real issue here is the fact that Gibson used illegal harvests of wood. I realy feel like Gibson Corp is losing its heart on many important matters such as, If you dont sell enough Gibson guitars than you cant be a dealer. This is okay BUT the sales target is set outrageously high for any common musicstore. Like I said I love gibson for thier amazing guitars Im just not sure if this is all ethical.
Give me a todays Epiphone guitar over Gibson any time. EPI's are the very best in top quality and much better than any thing Gibson puts out today. Gibson has been over chargeing the public for years. Epiphones only down fall is there guitars under priced
Gibson is great, in my opinion. They haven't outsourced, so they've created jobs for americans, and retained the same quality and care for decades. This raid was unfair. Suspending the progress of the entire company, coming unannounced, and not even talking to them about it is just not right. Remember, rock is free, and no one can take it from us.
This needs to be put on tv alot more!!! maybe we can open the eyes of millions of americans! even if they don't play guitars or any other instrument...it's time for US americans to take back the country we love! well i should say loved!!
Obama just got personal with me. After I voted for that cock sucker, he flip-flopped on everything he said! He promised change, we got worse. He promised jobs, he just made his second attempt to shut down Gibson. He promised an end to the wars. We're still occupying both countries. Enough is enough. Fuck you, Barrack Osama!
so fucking dumb they had the wood before it was deemed illegal, so wtf and who gives a shit if a tree is cut down, aslong as another is replanted seriously who gives a shit, obama prolly banned ebony wood cuz ebony is another way to say black
Seems like with Solyndra, Gibson, and the "fast and furious" program, there should already be more than enough justification for the impeachment of Obama. I don't want that sorry piece of shit to receive any type of pension, secret security protection, or any other benefits.
Obongo sees small businesses as 'threats to our safety, and freedom' while he sees drug dealers, gang bangers, islomo fascists, and socialist as patriotic citizens who will keep him in power because they're part of his liberal plantation while small business that don't contribute to his socialist ghetto need to be exterminated! Fucking socialist nigger!
@rdavian Yeah, you are. Here is the real kicker, I heard from him that he actually worked with environmental groups in America. Providing I heard that right, this is just completely a witch hunt that is completely unfounded. Gibson is an American Icon. I bet Zakk Wylde (Former Ozzy Guitarist), and founder of Black Label Society. It just makes me sick man, sick. This is like Communist USSR type of bullying.

Damnit, if India isn't complaining then whats the problem, keep your gol' dang politics out of my music, sheesh!! I guess the government has the right to investigate what they percieve as crimes, but if you havent brought charges after three years, the case should be dropped.
I'm not really into taking sides but I'm just going to say that people use to love obama as much as this guy, needless to say after he became president they don't love him anymore.
@ZomgGuitarz1234 you could see obama's failure from a mile away, the guy was a joke, didnt have any experience, and had a voting record that flippflopped like a pancake.
Ron Paul has a consistent voting record spanning over 20 years.
Was it obama's idea to even mess with the lacey act or are we just "Blaming the president" again. I'm not even trying to defend obama I just want to know.
wtf? the amish can't sell milk, US farmers can't grow their own crops, kids can't sell home made lemonade on a street stand. Gibson can't make guitars.The PIGS and the FBI are taking the piss by flaunting fucking stupid law's. GET A BLOODY GRIP YOU SCUM BAGS AND GO AFTER THE CIA FOR SELLING DRUGS!!!!
505-248-7889 to call and complain not that it will make a difference. vote up if you called and told them you want to be informed of what exactly gibson did wrong and we want to be informed now.
So this is the administration that is happy to let illegal immigrants come across the border and squat, but not a bundle of wood. This country is fucked.
I have a hard time leaving my computer because their is pain in my heart. I see clearly that our Constitution and our economy are in crisis because the Banksters, and their corrupt alliances, have hijacked our Republic. Now our nation is adrift towards an abyss. The shadow government has used Gipson Guitar to posture is total disregard for The Constitution. They are testing the waters to see what they can get away with. The infringements of our liberties is going to get worse!
I am 68 years old, when I was young most people liked and respected the police .Now these days most people hates despise and afraid of the police. what more can I say about law enforcement ,Police are armed and retarded they will hurt you they will kill you and they will get by with it. It takes police to have a police state. All police are taught from day one at the police academy to lie and put innocent people in jail that's why you cannot be a Christian and a policeman at the same time.
Another attack on the American worker! Yet we'll never see them raid the offices of Apple Computers for using Communist-Chinese wage-slaves to manufacture their products.
so, after the Feds were caught lying about selling guns to drug gangs all over Mexico and North America, they go and raid Gison Guitar Company for making guitars? what is wrong with this picture America?

This is way over the top. We don't enforce immigration and environmental laws here, but we enforce laws from other countries that don't apply here. WTF?
If the Feds were to raid a business because they hired illegal immigrants the Dems would be going nuts, but since the CEO of Gibson is a Republican the Dems are no where to be found.

The war on america and the american worker has begun, it has been going on for 15 years with Nafta and these facist trade policys! There objective is to DEINUSTRIALIZE AMERICA, They want all industry and technology from america to go to china and asia, they want to strip all wealth from the country, most scrap metal has already went to china! They want Gibson Guitars made in china they want to shut them down! Its going to take a REVOLUTION to fix america, this cant be done at the voting polls
maybe some left handed government official is pissed because Gibson charges allot more money for their left handed guitars, I would love to have a gibson humming bird but it cost a thousand more than the right handed model, i have been buying Taylor and martin guitars instead, they do not gouge me on price because i was born left handed. i cant help being left handed but gibson sure does seem to punish/gouge left handed guitar players. and most other company's dont.
Destroying successful businesses in America is the real agenda. America is no longer allowed to be succussful but instead is supposed to outsource their jobs to third world countries. Third world countries that use slave labor. Once America is on its knees and supports slave labor/slave wages, only then will manufacturing return to this country. Gibson is being made the example.
@KakashiTheFirst Ron Paul would be an excellent step back to the betterment of the people of this country so my friend you are ignorant. We have had zero job growth and now the Federal Government wants to force businesses to export Manufacturing jobs for some globalist betterment while we continue to lose jobs. Ron Paul 2012
@YaHuWaHservant What's just sad is that you actually think they give a flying fuck about who you vote for... Whether Ron Paul is a good 'step back to betterment', he won't be your president. It's not up to citizens to decide this. The people who decide that who will be elected to amend will be the common shadow oppressors of big company markets to keep lobbying, just like Blair. We're simply products of a spoiled multi-corporate function of no visionary dreams.
@KakashiTheFirst Then by all means do not vote. And when the Feds come to your house to round you up, kill you, take your family members, etc etc please do not fight back because after all what can you do? Even if he can't win, even if our votes don't matter, it is my duty to try because to do any less would be to lay down and accept it. I myself intend to go out on my feet and not my back.
@YaHuWaHservant Yeah? Well then tell me... why isn't Ron Paul your president NOW? Why do you want to follow this person in 2012? Why wait for someone who can amend when you clearly don't follow your current president? What makes you think that voting "properly" makes you OFFICIALLY a follower of Ron Paul? If you want him to be your president, then do so..immoderately. As far as I know, you don't need to vote to establish this determination. Clearly nobody's vote matters.why not declare at heart?
@KakashiTheFirst He isn't President now because people didn't vote for him to lead them. This is due to ignorance on the politicians, Apathy which is basically laziness, or people don't think their votes matter. All of these are tools of the globalists as history shows us. They wouldn't black ball him as much as they can, screw with poll numbers, and bad mouth him so much if they weren't worried people would rally around his message. The extent they wish to hide him shows how our opinions matter
@chrisjbarton Ron Paul will not win a Republican Primary Ticket.I believe Rick Perry and Sarah Palin and strong candidates.And Ron Paul is in isolationist and danger to it's best alley which is Israel.He would allow Iran get there hands on Nuclear Weapons and do more harm.But in general we all must stand together end Government intimidation.And sound like agents came with no search and seizure warrants.
@murraydonald62 Wrong. Sarah isn't even a candidate. Ron Paul isn't an isolationist. He wants to trade and commerce with other nations and only go to war when Constitutionally declared and when needed. That's not "isolationism", it's common sense. Iran would be crazy to use a nuclear weapon. they are surrounded. We have other enemies with more nukes than Iran. We have no business starting war with Iran. nor can we afford it.
And so the people of america rolled over once again, while the Federal government fucked them in their pussies once more. In a nation of blind the one eyed man is king, well americans are blind deaf dumb and retarded.....so good luck you turds lol
So let me get this straight... they illegally imported some wood 2 years ago, and they got caught; they still continued to illegally import some more wood, and now they got caught again...
As much as I love Gibson guitars.... why is its CEO expecting this law to exclude him?
"When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."
With all the hype that RT is pushing has it ever occurred to anyone that Gibson might be GUILTY?
Apparently the justice department has evidence that they KNOWINGLY imported wood from endangered sources that were illegally harvested. Does the ivory trade ring a bell?
Instead of actually looking at the FACTS of the case RT is just focusing on possible "political reasons" and "conspiracy" based on a drummed up internet campaign that Gibson started.
@StanwoodSpartans No ibanez I've played, which includes multiple artcores, a few a the "shredder" styles, and a les paul style body ibanez have played as well as my $1,000 les paul studio.
Even though I play Fender guitars, it isn't right to discriminate against a great guitar manufacturer like Gibson. India's laws should only be valid over there- end of story.
Is forcing companies to go overseas part of the 'plan'? It sounds like something that is able to be handled without a full shut-down or gov't seizures. Could you imagine being at work, doing your job and then blammo, here come the cops? They actually threatened workers with warrants? For making an honest living? How truely sad.
This is an American run company that treats its workers fairly, pays its taxes, & doesn't pay execs/owners excessive salaries. The powers that be (intern bankers & monopolies) want such good exp of bus shut down so the workers have no where else to go & become willing slaves/serfs of their empire.
What's wrong with the U.S. honoring the nature-protective laws in other countries? Would we not demand that THEY respect our laws that protect our ecosystems? Corporations break these laws for the same old Profit reason. So let's get our wires uncrossed here---We all love Gibson, and Gibson got caught of all the companies nailed so far for breaking laws. I love RT but some of their hosts aren't the brightest, and then they bring on Alex Jones to hump the emotion. Come on now.
@37Dionysos we don't know yet if Gibson violated any import/export laws. Perhaps the truth will come out in court. But, the larger issue is that Gibson is the ONLY company busted for doing what every other guitar company is doing (according to the CEO guy).
What probably happened is that Gibson refused to pay off the right politician, so now they're getting spanked.
FBI, Get off of Gibson's back!! File your damned charges or Shut the fuck up!! Gibson=Best guitar on Earth!! I ownede a Gibson Les Paul, sunburst. Best guitar I've ever owned, straight out of the box. Other guitar companies are using the same wood. But they are not using American Labor to finish the product. It is starting to look like the FBI's playhouse needs to be burned down.
Imagine that the Feds trying to fuck up an American business during a recession...and most of the morons in this country still think the the Feds are there for the benefit of the people.....WAKE UP DUMB ASSES!!!
They did this because of competition of businesses because these corporations wants to be #1 so they're doing this mafia-style tactic to bump them off.
Are country is out of control!!! Enforcing other countries laws? Here? In our country? We have to get out of NATO and stand up to our Tyranical Government!
You've got to be kidding me! AMAZING! This country is finished! I did hear the punch line! Move to India. I 've been warning the people that the powers that be are finished with this country.
if they treat rich white men like this how do you think working class families, minorities and small businesses that cant afford 2 million dollars in court fees. What are their chances of due process when this guy cant even get it. People who were saying that suspected terrorists deserve due process and opposed the patriot act arent so crazy now .....little too late now since were all treated like terrorists guilty or not.
Move the Plant to China and then tell the American people why you moved it to China, that will get a lot of people in the Federal Government fired by the angry citizens.

Destroying successful businesses in America is the real agenda. America is no longer allowed to be succussful but instead is supposed to outsource their jobs to third world countries. Third world countries that use slave labor. Once America is on its knees and supports slave labor/slave wages, only then will manufacturing return to this country. Gibson is being made the example.

@YaHuWaHservant What's just sad is that you actually think they give a flying fuck about who you vote for... Whether Ron Paul is a good 'step back to betterment', he won't be your president. It's not up to citizens to decide this. The people who decide that who will be elected to amend will be the common shadow oppressors of big company markets to keep lobbying, just like Blair. We're simply products of a spoiled multi-corporate function of no visionary dreams.

@KakashiTheFirst Then by all means do not vote. And when the Feds come to your house to round you up, kill you, take your family members, etc etc please do not fight back because after all what can you do?

@YaHuWaHservant Yeah? Well then tell me... why isn't Ron Paul your president NOW? Why do you want to follow this person in 2012? Why wait for someone who can amend when you clearly don't follow your current president? What makes you think that voting "properly" makes you OFFICIALLY a follower of Ron Paul? If you want him to be your president, then do so..immoderately. As far as I know, you don't need to vote to establish this determination. Clearly nobody's vote matters.why not declare at heart?
KakashiTheFirst 5 months ago
@KakashiTheFirst He isn't President now because people didn't vote for him to lead them. This is due to ignorance on the politicians, Apathy which is basically laziness, or people don't think their votes matter. All of these are tools of the globalists as history shows us. They wouldn't black ball him as much as they can, screw with poll numbers, and bad mouth him so much if they weren't worried people would rally around his message. The extent they wish to hide him shows how our opinions matter

@murraydonald62 Wrong. Sarah isn't even a candidate. Ron Paul isn't an isolationist. He wants to trade and commerce with other nations and only go to war when Constitutionally declared and when needed. That's not "isolationism", it's common sense. Iran would be crazy to use a nuclear weapon. they are surrounded. We have other enemies with more nukes than Iran. We have no business starting war with Iran. nor can we afford it.

With all the hype that RT is pushing has it ever occurred to anyone that Gibson might be GUILTY?
Apparently the justice department has evidence that they KNOWINGLY imported wood from endangered sources that were illegally harvested. Does the ivory trade ring a bell?
Instead of actually looking at the FACTS of the case RT is just focusing on possible "political reasons" and "conspiracy" based on a drummed up internet campaign that Gibson started.
Shame on you RT..... I expect better.

@37Dionysos we don't know yet if Gibson violated any import/export laws. Perhaps the truth will come out in court. But, the larger issue is that Gibson is the ONLY company busted for doing what every other guitar company is doing (according to the CEO guy).
What probably happened is that Gibson refused to pay off the right politician, so now they're getting spanked.
