Wood Poaching Case Targets Vendor Of Top Guitar Maker

One of the most prominent guitar manufacturers in the country may have unknowingly purchased poached wood from a national forest in Washington. According to a federal indictment unsealed in Seattle this week, Maryland-based PRS Guitars is not implicated in the case, but a small mill owner and three alleged poachers are named.
