More than 3,000 counterfeit Gibson guitars shipped from Asia have been seized by customs at a port in Los Angeles, California.

If the instruments had been genuine, they would have been worth 18 million dollars, equivalent to approximately 195 million kronor. The guitar manufacturers Gibson have confirmed that the guitars are counterfeit.

Customs states that the guitars "can look and feel like the real thing", and that people who intend to buy instruments should be cautious.

The authorities have not disclosed which country the guitars come from or who manufactured them.

An investigation is ongoing in the case.
