The seizure of 3,000 counterfeit Gibson guitars represents the largest bust of its kind, with a potential retail value of $18 million if they were genuine.
Cheryl M. Davies from Customs and Border Protection emphasized that while counterfeit guitars may fool some consumers, genuine Gibson guitars are made exclusively in Nashville and Bozeman.
Beth Heidt, Gibson's chief marketing officer, expressed the emotional impact of the seizure, noting that generations of families have devoted their lives to crafting authentic Gibson instruments.
