It’s gonna take Tea power to do it. For the sake of Gibson Guitars everywhere, we have to win big in 2012. I own a ‘78 Gibson Les Paul custom BTW. It’s one of those rare American things that doesn’t ever become worth less than you paid for it (unless you break it).

This is just the Fed’s version of the mafia protection racket.

It’ll be a huge file. The other unnerving thing is that most people are totally unaware of what’s going on.

This is killing the importing and exporting of instruments, to say nothing of building them. Its the US government eco-terrorists at work.
not just instruments, it's *anything" with even a small chunk of whatever material they deem "endangered." jewelery, guns, clothes, furniture, antiques and curios, art..

I don’t know how many voting guitarists there are in the USA, probably millions.

I never owned a Gibson although I would have like to have had one. Always played Fenders to get that “Waylon Jennings” sound. I knew a guy in the Army whose father gave him a Les Paul. This was back in the mid 70s and the guitar was already old at that time. The guy had it thrown in the back seat of his car. He didn’t even have a case for it. Needless to say, it was getting beat up pretty bad. I could have strangled him. He wouldn’t sell it to me because it “used to belong” to his dad.

I had a ‘73 Les Paul Deluxe and a ‘78 Les Paul Standard, back when you could get them used for $500. That’s what I paid for my ‘06 Epiphone Les Paul Custom Vintage now.
I wonder if any values will spike like what happened to Colt Series 70 pistols and Python Revolvers?

Anyone still want to argue we cannot balance the budget on spending cuts alone? Yeah, I'd include massive tax cuts as well.

I own a martin D-18 made in 1948. I bet I would be charged with something in a minute if ‘they’ knew I had it.

Feds going after luthiers. McCartney and Jackson’s “Ebony and Ivory” come to mind.
To: Gena Bukin
that is basically exactly what mine looks like except I have the Bigsby tremolo. I never play it though, I actually prefer my '72 telecaster thinline reissue. I installed 500 K pots on the volume and tone and it screams like a banshee.
