Gibson Raid Leaves Other Guitar Makers at Risk
WRITTEN BY BRIAN KOENIG FRIDAY, 07 OCTOBER 2011 11:51 As federal prosecutors confirmed in a court filing Wednesday that a criminal investigation involving the recent raid on Gibson Guitar Corporation is now in motion, other American guitar makers are expressing concern for their own business operations. Gibson facilities in Memphis and Nashville were raided by federal agents on August 24, leaving the company with an estimated loss of $2 to $3 million.
U.S. Attorney Jerry Martin declined to provide specific details on the investigation, but the prosecutor’s documents reveal that the federal government can "seek criminal fines and imprisonment for knowing violations of the Lacey Act." The imported wood seized by federal agents came from India, and authorities are deeming the wood illegal ebony and rosewood.
Henry Juszkiewicz, the CEO of Gibson Guitars, voiced strong opposition to the raid, asserting that his company has been importing the same wood from India for 17 years. "Juszkiewicz said last week that the materials used for the fingerboards — basically the top layer of guitar necks — were simply mislabeled," the AP reported. "He disputes the federal agents’ interpretation of both Indian law and the Lacey Act that requires the wood he imports to be finished."
Now other guitar manufacturers are feeling increasing pressure because of the federal government’s seemingly arbitrary investigation of Gibson. Dave Berkowitz, an expert in his craft who makes and sells guitars, reluctantly told Fox News, "I use the exact same ebony and rosewood fingerboards that were confiscated in August from Gibson." |

The D3 features a full frame 35mm equivalent CMOS image sensor measuring 23.9 x 36.0 mm. This sensor is larger than the DX format sensors of all previous Nikon DSLRs, and Nikon has coined the term "FX format" to describe it.

Gibson’s alleged crime was a violation of the Lacey Act, a conservation law that aims to protect plants and wildlife from endangerment by enacting civil and criminal penalties for a throng of violations. Gibson is being charged for allegedly importing wood from a foreign country in violation of a 2008 amendment to the law that makes it unlawful "to import certain plants and plant products without an import declaration."
