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

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

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

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