They left "-ly damaged" off the end of the description!

fret ends may need a touch up.
or, "finish crack , neck is stable"
site pics have a scroll to enlarge option.
it looks to me like frets broke at that crack....huh?
that seems odd.

Could it be an optical illusion? If you look at the picture of the front of the headstock, there is a plastic price tag hanging on the right. In that picture the neck does not seem damaged.

I think you're right! Looks like the hang tag to me.
It's not damaged at all, what you're seeing is the price tag for the guitar. GC has these big laminated rectangular price tags (you can see it is attached to the high E string with a loop). These price tags are clear so the reflection of the fret makes it look like it goes all the way through.

Damn, I had to stare at that a minute, but I see it now.

Knowing that the headstock logo and TRC orientation were upside down would keep me up at night. I'm already sleeping poorly because of a reverse headstock swap with @NickintheStates between our HB-TE90FLTs now has that logo upside-down...

Now that I look at it closely, I can see that it's the reflection in the hang tag, but damn, that's an odd lining-up of things. I doubt you could get it to look that way if you tried!

Back of the neck also say made in China, not Korea.

One the one hand, it’s a temptation because it’s a lefty Hamer.
I’ve wanted a lefty Hamer for years.
On the other hand, it’s made in China and I know nothing about the quality nor value of Chinese made Hamers.
