Re: Big Long Island Bust By Poilice of Fake Vintage Guitars

With vintage prices as high as they are, I knew this was going to start happing.
(Probally been going on for awhile.)

Unsuspecting customers thinking they are getting a genuine Gibson from a reputable shop, watch Gibson will be selling them directly B4 long, cain't trust nobody, shame

I hope anyone that has purchased one of those fakes comes forward. That's just a shame. You would think a music store would be legit..... Just goes to show you. I'm glad they shut this guy down. Thanks for the post

most likley the chinese fakes or something he was rebranding . I Don't think for a minute he was setting on 15 + replicas & for that matter most replicas are never sold as the real thing for that would be fraud

This hit the NY NBC evening news. They showed a quick clip of the confiscated copies. I saw some Customs, a Zak Wylde Camo. Apparently he had some bogus Gretsch guitars as well. They looked pretty good in HD. They mentioned Chinese copies.

After being scammed by a guy on ebay (a real guitar in the picture and the worst fake was sent to me) I hope this guy gets nailed and sued by anyone who was ripped off by him.
