The Gibson Guitar fiasco stunk from day one and it seems we did little to help Gibson Guitar fight fedzilla.

Well now fedzilla has made no bones and no attempt to hide the fact they are coming after us.

Using the most hated department in government (boy is that saying a lot) to run CommieCare is just poking their finger in our eyes and daring us to do something about it.

Every agency is coming at us from so many directions there can be no other reason that they want to provoke some action. Well, I guess I am in a minority as I am ready.

I would have done something, or at least I would have if I could have ponied up for a Custom Shop ‘59 Les Paul Standard.

Well I recently bought an Epiphone Les Paul Standard Pro Plustop (beautiful honeyburst), which is owned by Gibson. Does that count?

I'm still not a fan of rosewood fretboards (too much care with naptha and mineral oil and all), though. Much prefer Maple, with ebony a very close second.

What percentage of guitar players are white? This reminds me of the 10% tanning salon tax in Obamacare; What percentage of tanning salon customers are white? ..and there you have it! Punishing whites.

All these issues deserve a second look, relative to 0bama's scandals.

"Back in 2009 the Obama regime raided Gibson Guitars and demanded that its woodwork labor be done overseas."

A complete and utter lie. I've written extensively on FR about the two Gibson raids. I have all of the pleadings in both forfeiture cases and the government never took that position.

Gibson knew it was breaking the law - as shown by its internal emails and reports. They got caught.

Henry J. a Republican donor? Yes, and he's a Democrat donor, too. One Republican contribution and one Democrat contribution in the last ten years. Check it out yourself at OpenSecrets.Org

He's a founding member of the Rainforest Alliance, which fights 'global warming.' He's a founding member of the Clinton Global Initiative. He's a lefty, people.

“Remember when the person who looked at obama’s passport file suddenly committed suicide”

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Not quite. John O. Brennan was the CEO of the company that breached the passport files of both Zer0 and HRC. Today you know him as the head of the CIA.
Lieutenant (name, not rank) Quarels Harris Jr. was supposedly involved, ready to testify and found dead of a gunshot wound.

Amen. This will end as the Third Reich did, total devastation.

The body count in a polemic, heavily-armed nation where the government is the bad guy will be staggering.

If Boehner doesn’t wake up and take this bull by the horns he’s not going to get a dime from anybody any more for fear of retribution.

Remember Obama and Eric Holder’s attack on Gibson Guitars?

And the current regime went after Toyota, probably to help Government Motors (GM) compete by knocking Toyota down a notch for awhile. There NEVER were any supporting meaningful statistics, just hearsay and anecdotal evidence.

Obama will never be touched. If there was a video of him lighting puppies on fire, the message would be he must have had a good reason.

Concentrate on really severe punishment for the underlings who execute his evil, even if they say they were just following orders. Obama will never be touched. Punish the underlings. Put fear in their hearts.

That is the only thing that will stop them persecuting his political opponents. Obama wants his opponents to know they are being persecuted so they will shrink back and give up before the next election. That way he can solidify his power. We must not give up. If we can't stop the heart of the persecution, we must at least stop it at the periphery.

What care? I’ve never put anything on mine but sweat. Never had an issue.

“What or who triggers the audit?”

News and information on financial transactions. If, for example, a 501c(3) was suddently deemed (fraudulently and after the fact) not able to be a charity, but was listed as such on a tax form.

Others I've had did not require much care, either. But this one, the fretboard wood seems very "porous". Others I played (Gibson, PRS, other Epi's) seemed to have a higher quality of rosewood (AAA, I guess - this one seems to be AA+ or something).

Haven't had to clean it in a while, though (got it in early February and I play every day). Maybe it just needed to be conditioned - hope that's it.
