Gibson Raided?

Apparently a Gibson plant near Nashville has been raided in order to investigate whether they're using illegal rosewood.

I can't imagine how much longer these materials will be available. Rosewood only grows in rain forests, and export from a lot of the locations where it grows has already been shut down. Maybe it's time to look for an alternative?
