When he arrived at his office August 24, 2011, Juszkiewicz was greeted by armed federal agents from the Fish and Wildlife Service and the Department of Homeland Security.

Without any explanation, they raided two Gibson factories and its corporate offices and confiscated computer hard drives, records, and about $1 million worth of equipment and raw materials used to produce their guitars.

"They said they couldn't tell me because [the warrant] was sealed," he said, recounting the events of the raid. "I said, 'You're here with guns, and you can't tell me why?' And they said, 'That's right.'"

Five months later, Gibson still knows little about the investigation.
