| Gibson Sticks Thumb In Obama Administration's Eye With 'Government Series' Guitars | |
| 2014-02-02 | |
[Breitbart] Great Gibson electric guitars have long been a means of fighting the establishment, so when the powers that be confiscated stocks of tonewoods from the Gibson factory in Nashville--only to return them once there was a resolution and the investigation ended--it was an event worth celebrating.

| #2 I read someplace that Gibson called the wood 'unfinished' to avoid tariffs but 'finished' to avoid protected species law (or maybe v.v.) - case may be more complex than it appeared. |

| #1 Let me guess: It costs twice as much, lasts half as long, and I'm required by the IRS to purchase one. (srzly, good stuff, if I could play worth three carp I'd go for one) |
