After taking over Norman's Rare Guitars, too, Carter Vintage seems to be THE AUThORITY in vintage guitars. 

Not only USA-wide.

So, finally, a T 51 from 1990 gets ennobled being worthy to be sold by Carter online:

The ad also refers to Hamer as, "legendary USA builders."

Well, it isn't wrong....

Shouldn't vintage gear 'experts' at least know what year it was built? Google it for fuck's sake.

I noticed with Carter’s end with norms they have the founders still there so if people don’t know, they’ll think that they’re still in charge or something. 
And there’s something about the guy in the video with Norm I didn’t care for.

CVG's prices are insane! 😳

I had a not such a good experience at Carters. I felt unclean when I left. Like someone has just blew shit at me. I hope that person doesn't work there any longer!

It seems the iteration of the description was written by a semi-literate, and included mistakenly, while the leading description was the LLM clean-up.

The iteration mentions "[t]he neck shape is a medium O." Does that make it a universal neck shape that works for every guitaristhe neck shape is a medium O?

I think it means that it's round, like a broom handle or baseball bat.
