Notes and Limitations

• The actor relies on the structure of the GuitarCenter.com website. If the website structure changes, the actor may need to be updated.
• For large-scale scraping, use Apify's proxy services to avoid IP blocking.
• When using a proxy, requests can originate from different locations, so the number of results may differ compared to non-proxy runs.
