Boy if I didn't care about being in debt🤤

I almost went to that GC yesterday to pick up a harmonica, but they didn’t have the one I wanted in stock. Don’t recall seeing a Hamer USA there before.

What's with that Standard they have, anyone here know the history?

That crazy blue on is cool, but not at the current price!

GC had this for a while, at least a month or so.

Did they not look at their own pictures before writing the description?

Crafted in the USA, it features a gorgeous figured maple top over a solid mahogany body,

I do like a Vintage S - I’m a picky bugger though and that one doesn’t do it for me for some reason

Probably not... it's because of the shitty photos... It would have probably been sold already had that been shot with a black background,

The snaps are so shit aren’t they? 
 

…and I don’t like the white truss rod cover either.

see… picky!

Same here.  Maybe a black or a gold one.

That's a gorgeous finish w/gold hardware topping it all off.

That's so typical of Guitar Center, most their listings have crappy pics. I wouldn't be surprised if some stores still use flip phones to take photos.

It’s black in the third photo, which looks a lot better.

Gold hardware (🤮) is a deal-breaker for me.

The new GC CEO was interviewed by Phil McKnight recently.  He (the GC CEO) said that all used gear descriptions are now being generated by AI.

This NEVER would have happened in DOS!

So, does this make the descriptions better, or worse?

AI is based on GIGO technology

Yes, the AGCI looked it over thoroughly, and did not find anything wrong with the description.
