Yes, Rosewood from Madagascar. They are accused of buying the wood from a banned source. They also are being checked out by the IRS for not paying taxes. It is Ironic that this is happening to them. Gibson plays up that it is a green company with the Smartwood line of Guitars. However Henry Juszkiewicz CEO of the company has pissed off a lot of the help with some crazy ideas and some real crap new models they are marketing. So we shall see what happens.

“Rosewood from Madagascar”
If only the feds showed such concern about the influx of illegal immigrants from Mexico...

Like millions of acres of rosewood is being slaughtered to make guitars.

Anyone who prostrates before the idol of political correctness deserves what he gets.
Pity he has to drag the Gibson name down into his muddy little pond, but American music history is fraught with nasty little sub-plots. All of American history, I suppose. Look what's become of Moody's Investor Service, which was started by the good man John Moody.
