Gibson made a limited number of guitars from the wood that was confiscated and then returned by the government. They call it the “Government Series” and they made 300 Les Pauls in a color called government gray. I’m a proud owner of one of these guitars. I was going to buy a Fender at first, but after the government’s assault on Gibson, I changed my mind and bought a Les Paul.
If I had a musical bone in my body I’da done the same thing.
