I understand the owners of Gibson Guitars are big Republican contributors. Would that be why only GG was targeted, and not other luthiers?

Yes! Money spent defending false charges can’t be spent supporting conservatives.

I understand the owners of Gibson Guitars are big Republican contributors.

Gibson Guitars is a privately owned company and has two owners: Henry Juszkiewicz, the Chairman and CEO; and David Berryman, the President.

Opensecrets.org is a free website where you can track political donations to candidates, political parties, and PACs since 1990.

Here are Juszkiewicz's donations since 1990:

The Consumer Electronics Association donates to both political parties.

Berryman has no donations. Gibson Guitars has no corporation donations. You can confirm this at the website.

Fox News correspondent John Roberts first wrote in an FoxNews.com article that Juszkiewicz had contributed to Republican and Democratic candidates. By the time that had been filtered through the blogs, Juszkiewicz was a big Republican contributor. In fact, he rarely contributes to political candidates and never to political parties, as you can see.
