If this shuts down Gibson, imagine the value on the guitars will be now.

Word on the rumor mill says it has more to do with Gibson not contributing to a certain political party, whereas some of their competitors do.

Fixed.
And I believe it to be more than a rumor.

The really F'd up thing about the Lacy act is that the burden of proof is on you. If you have an old guitars that has ebony, rosewood, ivory, or any other controlled materials on it you are GUILTY of a felony if you don't have documentation proving that the materials are legal. This applies to items as old as the act(passed in 1900).

One of my clients has a pair of HUGE intricately carved elephant tusk on their dinning room table. I wonder what kind of paper work they have that makes them legal.

The Economist ran a big article a while back criticizing America's penal code and judicial system. They specifically mentioned the Lacey Act as on piece of code that fucks otherwise good people all too frequently.

While entirely accurate, those fucking limeys might want to look a bit closer to home for fucked up penal policies.

Settle down. It was a good article, and that's a damn good news magazine.
