Probably won't help Gibson's finances though

I have heard that the raid was the result of someone caught importing wood claiming to have sold some to Gibson. I have no way of verifying that except that the person concerned does have an "in" with Gibson and is normally reliable.

Its gibson, we all know theyre guilty of several crimes recently( The hendrix strat, the lollipop sg, the holy v/explorer, etc etc) so I dont think they have a good enough reputation currently to get the benefit of the doubt

If you take Mr38ths info into account, I think the chances of Gibson being guilty may be slim.  Could well be someone just stirring up trouble?

It's that Hendrix woman again... :lol:

Or maybe they're trying to shift the zoot suit SGs - start a rumour that the "good stuff", unknowingly, ended up in that range :lol:

I haven't heard anything more of great significance other than an illegal trader has apparently pointed the finger at Gibson presumably in some sort of plea bargain. My contact in USA has severe health issues to worry about right now but when he hears more he is going to let me know.
