Methinks this would not be a good headline..
Feds Show Up At Ted Nugent Concert To Seize Guitars..
There is no proof of that. The article they cite doesn't claim that. In fact, even though old guitars technically have to show provenance (which no one has!), the .gov has stated they never intended to go after end users. (Which begs the question why the idiot legislators can't write better laws, but that's because they don't read them and if they do, have little understanding of their full impact).The feds intend to take the battle directly to the musicians who use Gibson guitars, which are considered the best in the business, and to the fans who come to hear them play.
I for one am LOLing that Gibson is using laminate fretboard on their Historic Reissues now.
