Massive GAS
« on: November 22, 2009, 12:31:26 PM »
For some reason I seem to have come down with massive GAS for a number of guitars:

PRS SE Korina - as noted in the PRS thread
A semi hollow - as noted in the thread re pickups for an Ibanez semi
A LP - as noted in the aged covered mules picture thread

This forum is really not good for me!

You've had an LP and didn't really bond with it.

The SE Korina won't be as nice as my Korina McCarty

That just leaves GAS for the semi-hollow.

There you go, I've saved you a fortune!!!!  :lol:

Just relax, it'll pass.

About a week ago I suddenly got GAS for one of those set-neck, maple-top Korean Teles.  I was there at 2am checking prices and reading every review I could find.  Almost pulled the trigger.  Then next morning I woke up and the GAS was gone.

(Must admit I almost certainly would've succumbed if it had a bigger neck)


Good job I didn't, because then Warmoth started their 20% off sale....

Cheers Dave. And I had a 335 and didn't really bond with that either. I realised after a while I just liked the look of it!

You have saved me some money I didn't have in the first place!

I'm like this, wanting guitars cause they just look amazing but in this current economic condition I think I might pass.

I'm struggling alongside you Ian.

Suddenly had a sense of GAS rehabilitation or something there.

I'm the total opposite.  No GAS whatsoever now that I've bought Ian's Esquire  :lol:

I think 2010 might be the first year for a LOOOONG time when I don't buy a guitar.....

Apparently we have the complete opposite taste in instruments, I'd chuck those instruments on e-bay if I ever received one!

I'm having serious strat gas again. I've had about 4 strats in the past and sold them all. But I want one. Oh and a semi, but again had them before and got rid of them. Oh and my never ending jazzmaster fixation.

Good guess Philly. And rather than chucking it on eBay it could end being chucked on a bonfire!
