I got a Chinese Danelectro Longhorn bass from eBay last week. The seller called it “rabbit ear” bass, but it still says Danelectro on it. Really nice bass, a color they wouldn’t normally do (red) and the seller was top notch.
@@asregdor3386 the media is trying to sensationalize it , assuming the prices from Gibson custom shop guitars that a lot of the Chibsons copy. No way those chibsons are worth that much
@@richs7362 I am assuming that the Feds probably will destroy them. Can you imagine if you had purchased one and now it’s been seized. No way of getting the guitar and most likely you’re not getting your money back either
18 million divided by 3,000 is 6,000. How many new $6,000 Gibson guitars are available and how many people are buying $6,000 guitars. Standard Les Paul's and SG's on sweetwater seem to be about 1,350-1,500. While these counterfeits are just so messed up ethically. The numbers they are giving us just don't make sense.
Crap, that's why my Aliexpress guitar has not shown up. 😉 P.S. At least these aren't 'bolt on neck' guitars like the new tRump Chinese guitars which Gibson has a cease and desist order against. 🙃

@@jasonthemason1971 very nice! I’m glad it made it to you!
$18 million is a stretch no matter how many guitars were seized.
Yeah that’s what I was thinking myself
These are the ones they found.
Oh no! Hazmat suits needed say the reps... yet the CBP guy is holding and admiring the guitar like he's shopping at Guitar Center.
lol 😂
If my math is right , 3000 Chibsons are about worth $9,000 .

@@MBRMrblueroads yeah especially given the price point of the chibson
