who needs gibson we have epiphone!

I think its silly ...

I think its silly myself, but I can't agree with all the people claiming that this is the death of Gibsons. If I understand right, the issue is a certain type of ebony, which is usually a fingerboard wood. In the case of solid body electrics, the wood has only a small effect on tone. Its the electronics that make a Gibson sound like a Gibson. I can't agree that using a different fingerboard wood will have any drastic effect on quality.

Well said. The U.S. ...

Well said. The U.S. government is the biggest drug dealer on earth. Also the biggest gun runner and weapons manufacturer/distributor. But somehow, guitars are the problem!! I am 35 and I am just at the point where I am starting to be literally ashamed to be an american, and ALL because of the behavior of a select few "elitists" over the past 2 decades, and their cronies the banks/government/media. So many great things about this country have been destroyed by these jack-offs

i bet k yairi has a ...

i bet k yairi has a big smile on his face after buying massive amounts of tone wood in the 80s when acoustic music fell dry,,,mind you when anything becomes rare every one wants it,,,,keep up the good work gibson,,

So what the fuck ...

So what the fuck finally happened with this?

Agreed! Go buy a ...

Agreed! Go buy a guitar now because once those vintage woods are used up thats it for what the true sound of a Gibson use to be!! After that it will be like plastic sounding guitars!! Its amazing how the government can go all out to destroy guitar company's like Gibson yet they've got billions of dollars of misery with drugs destroying people lives!! Shame on the goverments & scumbag politicans for destroying what has brought so much joy to people, THE SOUND OF MUSIC!!!

Cherish you LP ...

Cherish you LP Standard my friend because in little less than 5 years from now you & my LP 59 Standard VOS will be collectables! All Guitar company's (Gibson incl) will be using cheaper wood for their guitars. Which is bad!! Its the worse news for the sound of the guitar in the future. I did at a Gibson convention corporate gig back in 2007 & they explained whats happening right now with the wood situation. In a nutshell what you get from a Japanese made Gibson today will be the standard across.

Marshall's were ...

Marshall's were called. HAHA MARSHALL

Wasch labert der? ...

Wasch labert der? Wie bin ich hierher gekommen? __ Dafuq is he talking? WTF is this shit and how did I get here?

If the exotic ...

If the exotic hardwood became a fine instrument  is very good. The musician factory use a small pice of cut-wood a year. But made by anithing else by wooden wich is not need is wrong. Only the Gibson factory use thise wood.. the Ovation, Fender, Martin, Taylor, Musicman, Takamine, Segall , Colling, etc...factories not ?

elvis and gibson ...

elvis and gibson are one

Nice! lol yeah ...

Nice! lol yeah that'll work... This b.s. with Gibson is just another example of "elitists gone wild" or you might even call it "bankers gone wild" They'll do ANYTHING to kill the middle class and send jobs overseas. Like Henry says, Gibson is the ONLY guitar maker being singled out...

I bought a Les Paul ...

I bought a Les Paul Standard a month ago. WIll that do ?

screw the elite fascists who run this country.....time to make a stand

I just now heard ...

I just now heard about this... Apparently the assh*le feds are actually planning on CONFISCATING Gibson guitars at summer concerts this year!!! If you play guitar, GO TOMORROW to your local store and buy something made by Gibson, ANYTHING, show your support.

fender sucks ...

fender sucks actually in front of gibson,coz gibsons are better

fire up the ovens ...

fire up the ovens boss, time to bake some maple.

The Feds need ...

The Feds need better things to do with their time. Off all the "crimes" being committed today this (if it is a crime, which I doubt) is the most innocuous. I hope the Feds get charged for malicious prosecution.

"it is about ...

"it is about propping up foreign manufacturing over american assembly. the goal is to devalue American products enough to where they are the same as others worldwide. this way the value of labor is the same." I agree with this statement 100%.What I was trying to say was,someone at Gibson pissed someone off who has connections.About Obama,I don't lke him and I don't like Romney.We're screwed either way.

love this !!!! your damn right sir keep pushing the american people and i for one am glad that these things are happening in a way, this is INSANE!!! these are direct attacks on AMERICANS and they actually hate americans because we love our constitution and rights. they(elite gov.) are so far disconnected from the avrg american that they have no idea the fight they are going to get once they push people too far

lol......yeah ...

lol......yeah fenders suck! junk

this would be the case regardless of president in office. if you think the pockets change pants depending on who's wearing them you are a sillyhead. same pants, same pockets, same money, same sillyhead. sillyhead. it is about propping up foreign manufacturing over american assembly. the goal is to devalue American products enough to where they are the same as others worldwide. this way the value of labor is the same.
