djroge1 Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Madagascar Rosewood? Do you suppose that a guitar would be more valuable if produced in the pre-busted era? Did anyone make note of the date for serial-number queries somewhere down the road? Actually what will probably happen is that since you registered your guitar with Gibson they will track you down and either confiscate you guitar or impose an extra heavy tax which you must pay or go to jail... either way, you'll be singin' the blues.

Bluemoon Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Of course I can not make any official comment about the news article. As far as the thread' date=' yes I deleted it as the title of the thread violated our rules. I am not going to air out all the reason why a change in moderators has been made. I will say that there are many circumstances that led to the change. There was an investigation that was performed over the past two months. Which lead to the action taken today. I would like to ask that people remain civil, and make sure that they follow all rules. I would hate for this issue to grow and cause more problems. Thanks, S[/quote'] 2 month investigation????

Bluemoon Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Yes 2 Months. I know what he said. But what would warrant a 2 month investigation? Selling Chinese fakes out the back of his car?

Thundergod Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I take it the 2 month investigation was on gibson for the wood stuff and not on guitarest... Am I right? Now if the investigation was on guitarest then one can only say "man... 't was about time you got yours" just kidding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
