CITES

"anyone read up on the new CITES regulation which will choke the import and export of rosewood including any guitar made after 1947 that had rosewood i feel this is a bit extreme because even as a private seller you would need a, i believe, 75 dollar CITES certificate to ship to Canada or Mexico i understand this law because the Chinese gutted rosewood forests but this also will apply to Cocobolo and Brazilian rosewood. I feel this is an unfair handicap to companies like Gibson or Fender..."

I regret not getting one when they first came out.... it seemed like a gimmick to play hard rock on a hello kitty guitar but now I feel like I missed out on being schlocky one or two songs a night when I still toured
