US Customs seize fake guitars

[stratjacket]

Just saw this today, 36 guitars. Not sure how accurate the $158k value estimate is. I don’t think I’ve ever owned a complete fake that I’m aware of anyway, ha.

Anyone ever got scammed on a fake? Be interested to hear the stories.

Dammit, there goes my custom Chibson double neck 7 and 8 string Jimmy Page Explorer.

Maybe one of those will have a straight neck and be playable in 3 years.

There was a Gibson Slash November burst for sale locally. It was a fake, but I doubt most people would have picked it. So I'm guessing someone who thought they found a bargain got ripped off.

What scum, but obviously there is a good market for it.

I wish they’d come out with a Wuhan DeMartini model
