Federal agents swooped in on Gibson Guitar Wednesday, raiding
factories and offices in Memphis and Nashville, seizing several
pallets of wood, electronic files and guitars. The Feds are keeping
mum, but in a statement yesterday Gibson's chairman and CEO, Henry
Juszkiewicz, defended his company's manufacturing policies, accusing
the Justice Department of bullying the company. "The wood the
government seized Wednesday is from a Forest Stewardship Council
certified supplier," he said, suggesting the Feds are using the
aggressive enforcement of overly broad laws to make the company cry
uncle.
It isn't the first time that agents of the Fish and Wildlife
Service have come knocking at the storied maker of such iconic
instruments as the Les Paul electric guitar, the J-160E
acoustic-electric John Lennon played, and essential jazz-boxes such as
Charlie Christian's ES-150. In 2009 the Feds seized several guitars
and pallets of wood from a Gibson factory, and both sides have been
wrangling over the goods in a case with the delightful name "United
States of America v. Ebony Wood in Various Forms."

Straub is very tasty beer, no preservatives, salt or sugar and "microbrewing" in St Marys for over 135 years.
