HI there,

Did anybody else note the story lately regarding Gibson
guitars and a federal investigation into their sources of
ebony?
the only thing i found, other than sales stuff, was on The
Tennessean... i'd post the link but it is rather long and i'd have
to type it from the other screen...
I relate. There was a piece in this morning's MEmphis
Commercial Appeal. Probably same source.
IF you want that LEs Paul, that 335 or that Flying V better
get it <g>.
it might be too late unless you get one that's already out there...
but i'd be wary of those, too... especially when i'm also seeing
reports of folks on ebay and the like selling hundreds of gibsons
with their location being in asia...
OH yeah you can bet there's already people rebadging copies, and there were lots of copies of the majors. Had an Electra bass that was a damned nice Fender precision knockoff back
in the '80's.
Regards,
Richard
