Counterfeit Guitar Bust Yields 861 Gibson Fakes, Ends with Prison Sentence
The recent arrest and three-year jail sentencing of Beijings Li Dan was a monumental victory against the proliferation of counterfeit guitars. Not only were 1,200 fake guitars seized, but years of efforts on the part of the Gibson, the Electric Guitar Anti-Counterfeiting Coalition (EGACC) which consists of Fender, Gretsch, Ibanez and Paul Reed Smith and Chinese legal authorities paid off, leading to the sentencing of Li Dan.
Dan operated paylessguitar.com.cn, paylessguitars.com, musoland.com.cn and musoland.com, web domains that targeted overseas consumers with alluringly inexpensive fake guitars advertised as authentic Epiphone, Fender, Gibson, Gretsch, Ibanez, and Paul Reed Smith brand guitars. Of the 1,200 guitars seized at Li Dans warehouse and retail outlet this past fall, 861 were Gibson and Epiphone branded.
