Gibson needs to find a 'guitar manufacturers' rights' leader/activist to champion their cause. They need a Martin Luthier King!

You're a dumbass Henry. You are a military corporation and you don't have rights. You enjoy making millions under the protection of the federal corporation that is a corporate military business. You are a subject of your military which you have using to make millions of dollars and yet you don't want to fess up to your chickenshit thinking. Washington, D.C. is a corporation and you work for it and they protect you -- and control you if they want.

There's always two sides of the story....and what's more is that - if you are a corporation you derive protection from the mother corporation (Federal Government) and just like a soldier -- you have no rights as a corporation. You have some privileges but, they can be taken away without notice if you piss of someone in government or another corporation. If you don't you don't understand you are a subject of the king -- you are an idiot to start with.

Raids should be conducted at Wall Street banks, 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Congress and Detroit unions - where the serious crime is going on.

@reXmcKeys Ha ha very clever!!!

Henry was being a dick to goverment officials. He pissed them off. They threw the book at him. He had this coming. Most Gibson products come from CHINA ( so much for his "job provider" crap.) As for his US employees, Gibson Guitar is rated the one of the WORST companies to work for in America. He walks around and fires people on a whim. Talent people are forced out.

The FAA sent the planes over Gibson to try and silence them from answering these important questions!

I've had Martins, Fenders and Gibsons (still do in fact) and I love them all and they all get their woods from different places and countries. I do music, not politics, all I can say is, I hope Gibson holds their ground, let the government go after Walmart and the 95% of garbage they sale from China. PLAY MUSIC, NOT POLITICS!!!!!

give me a epiphone over gibson any day and time!
