My experience is very much like John's, over time the combs tend to chip and crack. Though it's primarily at the corners it's not limited to that area, and seems to grow worse as the harmonicas age. I would imagine that the desire for an aftermarket comb is to get a harp that is as durable as other plastic combed harps like the Special 20 or the Lee Oskar.

I also do a customized Golden Melody using the original comb: http://tymoyer.home.texas.net/WorkingMansHarps/soloistharps.htm I think that Jimmy Gordon works on the Golden Melody, and Pat Missin of course.
