Not to get technical but C.F. Martin Guitars are not a competitor of Gibson guitars.

C.F. Martin makes acoustic guitars exclusively. Gibson does not, they mainly make Electric Guitars. From the famous Les Paul model to the popular 'SG' model, the 'Flying Vee', and the semi-hollow body ES-335 'Dot', and like BB King's ES-345 'Lucille'.

The competitor for Gibson is Fender Guitars and their Stratocaster and Telecaster models. Many famous players like Eric Clapton start out with the Gibson Les Paul then switch to the Fender 'Strat' for the different sound a Strat makes. (Clapton's Fender Strat 'Blackie' sold at an auction at Christie's in London for a whopping $959,000!)

Now Gibson sure may have a beef against the 'G' for overlooking C.F. Martin's wood, but it ain't over whose buying whose guitars as a competitor.

You have to wonder how many people who own and enjoy Gibson guitars voted for this corrupt Ubama regime.

It’s a matter of time before one of these contrived and bogus federal raids is met with armed resistance.

First they came for the gun owners...

Anyway, I saw a photo in another article, and the agents were packing up guitars in BUBBLE WRAP!

Don’t they know from the ATF that when you have valuable relic or premium-finished items to seize, you toss them on a concrete floor across the room, and stuff them into garbage cans?!
