This can be moved in a few days;

They found everything, including their other brands on ebay.  :laugh:  Can this be true?

I'm curious about how the transfer went down. Was law enforcement involved? Lawyers? Were they the high bidder? I'm more interested in those details than what might be in the schematics.

Seems like they simply bought it, there's no mention of anything involving law enforcement. A couple acquaintances of Gibson's VP of Product caught wind of the listing and told him about it. The seller was a former Gibson employee who kept these documents safe until now, according to him.
