Will the Federales Come After My Rosewood Grips?
« on: August 30, 2011, 10:05:32 PM »
Seems Gibson was raided because they were suspected of using rosewood from India and Madagascar which is on a ban list by some US legislation

Are they going to come after my grips?

To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben

I sure wouldn't bet against it.

I could see the JBTs using it as add on charges every chance they get in addition to any weapons charges they want to throw at some one.

They will, once they realize that guns have grips made from exotic woods.

Right now, they only know about guitars.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.
