anyway back to the original thread subject that went off on a tangent.
Sure Gibson have made enough over many years to pay a few million dollar fine !

I suspect if we had the relevant facts from both sides presented and viewed objectively this story would show Gibson as a grubby money hungry business without concern for workers or preserving timer. Likewise the prosecuting authority would be seen as inept in their ability to protect dwindling supplies of tone woods.
Cork sniffer I think you should put the cork back in the glue lol. I'm in Australia. It's a guitar forum not let's intervene in American/ Australian politics. After all Gibson do make guitars, some may say that's debatable. Personally I'm more interested in guitars than any politics. Just thought it was an interesting story. Thanks for your opinion though.
it's a Friday arvo everyone so grab a beer and chill - that's the best solution !

Agree with you totally Woks what we drinking ?. Doc even Gibson a loss of 2 million is ridiculous. Plus the lost hours of production, due to no rosewood fretboards. And to go in armed to the teeth. Just a tiny bit over the top.
