Heard on the news that Gibson agreed to a settlement that had them paying a fine of 300,000 dollars and abandon the claim to all seized woods. I betcha Obama's house will have some fancy new wood floors.

I read the same thing earlier in the week. My guess is Gibson weighed the legal costs and just decided to give up. Freaking government and the donkey in-charge, wake up America! This should send a warning shot to all those in business, that you could be next!

BTW: O'Dumbo has a hut, now with exotic wood floors! :lol:

My son finished the floors in his Colorado home, very exotic woods, now he has more.

Steve Costello plays Gibsons and others and Brian May built his guitar from scrapped parts.

Wood isn't everything.

Pickups sure as hell are.

Or was it Jim Beam...
