California customs intercepts $18 million worth of fake Gibson guitars

More than 3,000 fake Gibson electric guitars shipped from Asia were seized by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents at the Los Angeles-Long Beach Seaport. 

Had the guitars been authentic, they would have been worth $18 million, according to customs officials.

A spokesperson said the seizure was the largest confiscation of counterfeit musical instruments in the seaport's history.

Officials said that last year they intercepted more than $2 billion worth of counterfeit goods entering the country.

The source of the guitars was not revealed while the investigation continues.
