Not sure how many of you know about the US gummit raid of Gibson Guitars
in Memphis this week. All because they imported wood from India (not
against any India law, btw) that wasn't "processed" by Indian workers
(whatever that means). The whole episode shows how far we've sunk as a
country, how absurd our law enforcement has become (swat teams for every
occasion!), etc, etc. I was going to post a long story about the
controversy, but this gets the point across better with humor. Cheers!

Just remember when you leave the country with your Charlie Christian
ES-1500, when you return be prepared to show full documentation as to
exactly where & how all its wood was harvested and processed (again,
whatever that means).
Cheers,
