U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials in Los Angeles
seized more than $18 million in fake Gibson guitars in the
largest counterfeit musical instrument seizure in history.  

Working with local and federal agencies at the LA/Long
Beach Seaport, agents intercepted the suspected cargo
arriving in ocean containers from Asia. 

In total, agents seized more than 3,000 counterfeit guitars
and had they been genuine, the value would have been
more than $18.74 million.
