Federal Agents Raid Gibson Facilities In Nashville, Memphis

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Gibson Guitars put a hold on making musical instruments Wednesday as dozens of federal agents swarmed company buildings in Nashville and Memphis.

US Fish and Wildlife Agents showed up at multiple Gibson locations with a search warrant in hand.

Immigration and Customs Officials assisted in the case. No one would say why they were searching Gibson buildings, but a source told NewsChannel Five it's related to an investigation that came less than two years ago.

Back in 2009, federal agents suspected that Gibson was illegally importing Rosewood and Ebony from Madagascar, then using the material to make guitars.

I prefer the sound of a Fender anyway.
