The Gibson Government Series Electric Guitars are unique and extremely limited edition guitars that represents a very interesting moment in Gibson's history. In August of 2011, the US government seized Madagascar/Indian mahogany, ebony and rosewood fingerboard blanks, neck blanks and even whole guitars from Gibson's Nashville factory in a raid. That rosewood was later returned to Gibson once they reached an agreement with the Justice Department and now Gibson USA features this rosewood on these instruments. The Government Series Exolorer is limited to only 300 guitars
