Gibson is non-union. The other companies are all unionized.

Wonder how the same lefties will feel when and if the obummer administration decides to enforce the Islamic law against music.

I can think of one who already has done so, with corrupt members of her own party. Is there another? You must be thinking of the same candidate as I. Should she choose to run...

Since one of the Republicans the Gibson CEO donated to is Lamar Alexander, he is guilty of stupidity in the first degree.

There was a time say 20-30 years ago where all the bands would have joined together in spreading the message to their audience to put a stop to this. And it would have worked.

Gibson should be investigated...for charging upwards of 2 grand for guitars that won’t stay in tune.

Not American Indian....the word American has been struck through on the original article.
I believe that are likely referring to Indian rosewood and possibly mahogany that are widely used in the construction of high value guitars.

Theres no such thing as American Rosewood, for starters. Exactly so. Most high end guitars use Indian rosewood and other exotics for resonant qualities. And have for years and years and years.

Sounds like a combination of Chicago thug politics, shake-down, and usurping the Judicial branch (as usual). This also smells of being a favor to the unions.
It would be proper, if Obama was doing his job properly, for his executive branch to serve a company with notice that it was breaking a law. Lawyers would then argue whether or not they actually WERE breaking a law. Judges and juries would decide, then fines would be paid if need be, and full accounting of those fines would most likely occur.
Obama short circuits the whole process. He becomes his own judge and jury, and fines the company an effective instant million dollars in losses. If the company DOES pay this administration a actual fine to ‘make it all go away’ you can bet the money ends up in re-election coffers.

Martin doesn't compete with Gibson across an entire line.
Martin produces acoustic instruments only.
Gibson has a large line of electrics.
I'm sure the angle is still political though as Henry J. is an active Republican.
