The Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, often referred to as "Gitmo," did not start as a YMCA. However, historical records do indicate that there was a YMCA presence at the base, particularly during World War I. A YMCA building was documented at Guantanamo Bay, serving the needs of military personnel during that period. This indicates that while the property itself began as a naval base, it did have YMCA facilities established there at some point in its history. Additionally, posts on X have humorously noted this historical detail in relation to political figures like Donald Trump, suggesting a connection between his use of the song "YMCA" and the historical presence of a YMCA at Gitmo.

I'd buy on of those guitars if it were made in GITMO and not in China. :(
