I did not use an equals sign or a dash to indicate I was defining an acronym.
I simply bumped the thread for the sake of newbs who prolly haven't seen it.

I see we have some new members recently.
This thread should bring them up to speed on all the various acronyms we use around here.
Hence, this post to bring it back to the top.

First of all, most of the listed aren't acronyms, but abbreviations.
Acronyms are pronounceable, abbreviations aren't. LASER is an acronym; IBM is not.

Anyhow - here are some additions, feel free to use or discard:

Fender guitars/basses:
AVRI = American Vintage Re-issue
TL = ThinLine
RI = Re-issue (or Rhode Island)
WRH = Wide Range Humbucker
GB = Grease Bucket tone wiring (or Great Britain)
TBX = Treble Bass Expander (tone control)

Other music/guitar related:
cab = loudspeaker cabinet
TS = Tip-Sleeve (mono cable connector) or Ibanez Tube Screamer (effect pedal)
TRS = Tip-Ring-Sleeve (stereo cable connector) or Tandy/Radio-Shack (electronics label)
PAF = Patent Applied For (pickup type)
SS = Solid State (usually as opposed to tube/valve)
SB = Sunburst (color) - the "traditional" Stratocaster color
BSB = Butterscotch Blonde (color) - the "traditional" Telecaster color
NAMM = Not Available, Maybe May (tongue-in-cheek reference to the NAMM show, where new products are displayed, but you can't buy them yet)

Players:
EC = Eric Clapton
JH = Jimi Hendrix
SRV = Stevie Ray Vaughan
YJM = Yngwie Malmsteen
EVH = Eddie Van Halen (the man or the company)
JB = Jeff Beck (or Jim Beam, or Jazz Bass)

Places to buy gear:
GC = Guitar Center
SW = Sweetwater
MF = Musician's Friend (or Mother's Finest or someting else)
RVB = Reverb
CL = Craigslist
WW = Wildwood
ZZ = Zzounds, unless followed by "Top" or "Doc"

Generic:
GP or GPP = Grandparent post (ref: the post you replied to)
UI = Useful Information
TANSTAAFL = There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch
SWMBO = She Who Must Be Obeyed
COA = Certificate of Authenticity
POS also means Point Of Sale
HTH = Hope That Helps (usually ironic)
RSN = Real Soon Now (see NAMM)
YMMV = Your Mileage May Vary
lmgtfy = Let Me Google That For You (usually ironic)

and let's not forget:
