I’m sure the 0bamunist jackbooted raid on the Gibson facility, ostensibly because they had “endangered” species of rosewood in their facility, didn’t help.

IIRC, the thugs took pretty much all the wood, because they couldn’t tell rosewood from ebony, and never gave any of it back.

And the raid was politically motivated.

"...government raid..."

I was thinking the same thing.
When companies get rattled to the core and fake news hits the marketplace, it hurts the business.
The great Angus Young of AC/DC has played a Gibson SG for years, if I’m remembering correctly.
