Why did they call some random music shop owner who basically gave them nothing instead of a lawyer who would instantly clear this up?

[@RoboLobster3000]

I think that's a turtle shell, I've never seen any tortoises with shells like that

[@c.mccool1123]

Sea turtle for for sure.

[@mRibbons]

After 5 mins of research on the Googles... I found that it's ILLEGAL AF to carry tortoise shell picks across state lines unless they have explicit documentation as antiques. I would hazard a guess that if picks alone have such strict laws, then a full shell guitar would be trouble.... make that double.
