Gibson USA is one of the last American Brands "MADE IN AMERICA" still in demand worldwide, but not for long, The EPA sent their Green "Tree Hugger" division Police in to punish them. It's interesting to know that Gibson also owns a plant in Qingdao China....I don't think the Chinese Government there has a problem with Gibson's use of WOOD? The US forester system admits we have more trees in the USA today than we did 100 years ago due to modern forestry management. It seems our Dear Leader wants them to close the American production and move what's left in the USA to their CHINA plant....where the Communist Leader in China LOVES Gibson ,,,, as they love all the American technology, skills, brands, and craftsman skills that has migrated to CHINA....which has help destroyed the economy in the US. see the Gibson/epi plant in china link below www.epiphone.com "The modern environmental movement is nothing more than organized crime bent on harassing businesses while redirecting public sentiment towards petty issues rather than real enviro-catastrophes like genetic modification."
