Feds to Gibson: Hand over more wood

 The FEDS continue to pressure Gibson to move to India and hire Indian workers to make guitars. Never mind that the American workers are seasoned artist's that have spent decades perfecting their craft....they WON"T be able to move to India, even if they want to!Just fire them and get out of the country!

Federal authorities are pressuring Nashville-based Gibson Guitar to hand over an additional 25 bundles of Indian wood that the company allegedly planned to use in its famous guitars.

As has been the case in previous allegations, at issue is the classification of certain wood imported to the United States from India. Namely, a June shipment of 1,250 sawn logs was classified as "finished parts of musical instruments," which is allowed under Indian law. In reality, according to the sworn affidavit of Fish and Wildlife Service agent Kevin Seiler, the wood was unfinished – a violation of the Lacey Act.

In other words, because Indian workers didn’t create the final product, it’s not legally eligible to be exported. More Here
