I'd be the same way with my SG that Charlton Heston was with his guns...

You're going to have to rip it from my cold, dead hands.

Ill stab them with a frozen turd if they touch my Les Paul.

Sounds like this only could happen in the extremely rare circumstance of someone taking their vintage guitars through the airport, which requires one to be able to afford vintage guitars, international travel, and then to consider traveling with the guitars everywhere.

Even in that case, probably less of a chance of this happening than the guitar being sent to the wrong country and getting lost.

I love the bs tone of the article at the end though "I want to protect the arts, it's not because I work for WSJ and get paid to discredit environmentalism on behalf of major corporations, it's because artists and musicians, I'M ON YOUR SIDE"

Yeah I bet this suit goes to shows all the time, they must think we're fucking idiots.

Luckily, I'm way to low rent to have any boutique equipment...but nonetheless, this is absolute bullshit.

Low rent does not equate to not owning boutique gear. Only using life expense funds to purchase gear is real.

Duly noted. Then I am most certainly keepin' real, that's for sure.

dont forget about inheritences as well. if my dad left me a guitar that was later taken away by the federal government i would go into a homicidal rage.

NOPE. They will take it away if its made of un-certified endangered and you're trying to cross international borders without documentation. Or, as in this article, they'll raid manufacturers they suspect of using illegal materials. Read then post Henny Penny.

ONLY GUITARS MADE OF HEMP ARE REAL

seriously. if a company is engaging in illegal activity and the feds come and raid it, it's called LAW ENFORCEMENT. oh wait, THEY TOOK AR GEETARS!!!

i hope they aren't guilty of anything and something good comes out of it.

Rightfully so. That's what you get for not following the rules.

what the fuck is your problem with me? instead of posting a snarky comment to try and prove that I "didnt read" the article, why dont you PM me. I DID read the article because, unbeknownst to you, I am literate. but I guess referring to people on this here message board as "faggots" for acting like faggots, makes me uneducated. cool story bro. man up or shut the fuck up. im not hard to find.

I didn't try and "prove" you didn't read the article, I was responding to the misrepresentation in your subject line, along with the cryptic content of your original post. I don't think I've ever asserted that you were an illiterate though I may have confirmed your idiocy elsewhere. Your attempt to call me out for a physical conflict in real life is precisely why I get snarky with you.

did I call you out to fight? no I didnt. all I said was "man up, im not hard to find"

you got a problem, find me. talk to me. or, if need be, throw hands. other than that, shut the fuck up.

only RTTP fights are real

Gibson Custom Les Paul owners beware... you have ebony fretboards. And man..do they play nice. That sucks though if the govt has the ability tol steal our vintage LP guitars...or martins,....whatever.
