The seizure of more than 3,000 Gibson guitars through the L.A.-Long Beach port complex is the largest counterfeit musical instrument seizure on record, authorities said.
More than 3,000 fake Gibson electric guitars have been seized through the Los Angeles-Long Beach port complex as part of a multiagency law enforcement investigation, making it the largest counterfeit musical instrument seizure on record, authorities announced Tuesday.
'These guitars you see on display around me and behind me may look real to you, but trust and believe they are not,' Bell said. 'They are fraudulent, and they are part of a massive attempt to con the American consumer.' Bell said while most shipments comply with U.S. importation laws, many do not.
