Ted n leo thanks yes its a Standard also quite rightly pointed out by Mr Twin and Mr Price

I must say that although I'm not a LP man it is one of the nicest standards I have seen. I think plain tops look very, very nice on them.

I get GAS for different guitars all the time. Then I do nothing about it and it goes away.

The Carvin bug has been poking me for quite a while though.

i satisfied my GAS for a short while. - but it leads on to more

I have a bass amp on the way - just a laney RB3 but i got a good price on it.  now i only have the new bass here for another month or so so i had better get the bass i was making for myself finished - that ones getting a BKP P-bass pickup

i have had an ongoing CSL (ibanez) firebird rebuild project  going on for a while.  i still need to do some finish work  on it but its all together for a test fit at the moment and since its a project for myself it will stay that way for a while... so thats like having a new guitar to play for a while... but i know i will want some more mini-hums and probably a vibrola at some point

I have near constant GAS, ES335 (maybe a Tokai), CS Telecaster, Jazzmaster, Dr Z amp, Firebird, Gretsch just for starters. I've not bought a guitar in 14 months and have promised myself, if there is to be any new guitar, some must go from the current collection.

Might pick up some new pedals though, most of the ones I have aren't quality items.

I had semi 335 GAS for ages and bought a Tokai ES130, didn't really bond with it too much at first.  I think sometimes first thoughts can tend to cover what a guitar isn't rather than what it is.  So a 335 is not as deep and jazzy as an ES-175 or as good at rockin' as a Les Paul.  But after a while you end up being able to see guitars for what they are.

So this Tokai is now starting to feel right, the nickel is tarnished and some of the shine is going from the body.  Looking at the Guitarist issue on the 335 in looks now almost identical to the 1958 model, miles closer than the standard Gibson model.

Played a gig last night and the guitar made perfect sense and ended up using it for most of the 2h gig.  Through my WEM (which now sounds great - thanks Martin...) it's a great blues / rock combination, controlable sustain and feedback, cut, sweetness or sting as required. 

The moral of this story is if you have GAS for a 335, yeild to it and buy one!

I buy her stuff as well... simple as that :D

The main advantage I seem to have, as far as I can tell, is that she fully understands that "a guitar is a guitar, why do you need more than one" is a totally false statement/question.

Oh, and she doesn't seem to mind having a living room full of guitars and assorted music making cr@p (including leads all over the place). She's reported that several girlfriends have tried to advise her that she "really needs to get that sorted out, I couldn't live like that..." but her response is apparently always "I can :D"

EDIT: She has failings as well - can I get her to learn to play bass??? nope...

Sort of - I would say it's semi-GAS as you have it on order and will be yours shortly.

IMO GAS is the pursuit of something that you want but don't own!

Nope :lol:

I've tried on the first one - same as bass...

She's involved in songwriting sometimes, but more in an editorial or sounding-board capacity, can't get her to actually come up with words or tunes...

No, I'm content that she is a superlative GAS advisor/sympathiser and sometimes actual supplier of kit :D
