Last week the Federal Government issued warrants to raid two Gibson guitar factories in Tennessee. It is alleged that the materials that were being used to make the guitars was breaking international laws. The controversial material that was confiscated was wood shipped from India. Henry Juszkiewicz, CEO and chairman of the Gibson Guitar Corporation, tells us what happened that day and why he thinks the Feds are targeting Gibson.

  • 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!!!!

  • 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.

  • The rest of my life is now devoted to buying Gibson guitars

  • @Sugano Gibson did NOT violate Indian law.

  • 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.

  • The Feds probably proffer fender...

  • This board makes me sad...

  • 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 is the absolut right way to destroy a company ..... no idea what america wants..... destroy himself ??? INCREDIBLE INCREDIBLE INCREDIBLE!!!!
