However, I´m happy to hear that importing wood from India and / or Africa gets slapped with a fat fine in the US. Its about time that someone starts respecting the environmental issues in these countries.
Its unbelievable how you Americans can only see and relate to your holy dollars. Environmental problems in "poorer" countries are totally ignored.
So who cares about Gibson and american workers not being able to e$ploit other countries; they´ve done it long enough.
I consider a tree more "classic" than a guitar manufacturer.
