For what they will make on those guitars, they are likely hoping to be raided every Wednesday. I'm not saying what happened is right... I'm saying it can be monetized much like anything else. ;)
It's also the absolute best contest prize they could ever have for an essay contest. Let students, musicians and college kids know they can win one of these guitars if they send in a letter to the justice department explaining why these raids are anti-American, and select one of their letters as the winning entry. Then publish that winning article on the New York Times OP-ED page.
Nothing like having your target audience flood the DOJ with well-written intelligent letters for you from all over the country to pressure the DOJ into curtailing the recurring misuse of policy... and then making front page news out of it by being awarding them a guitar for doing it well.
