Thought I'd contribute to the addiction by showing my prettiest guitar:

okay..Jamguy may I suggest if you have any other addictive tendencies ie alcholism..do NOT go to a bar, Obesity to dairy queen, drugs to a crack house for advise...I could give other examples but Im going to behave..I am so glad the forum was able to help everyone with the GAS issue..

Seems like this thread turned out to be a ''how-to-tease-Mona''-thread :lol:

But to some extent , I have to agree with SA :

Plus, I'm really, really content with the instruments I have right now. Due to the dearth of good guitar shops in casual "browsing distance" from my current abode, my guitars and (main) amp are generally MUCH nicer/better quality than what I'm seeing on the walls locally--therefore, the GAS switch doesn't get triggered as often.

So I empathize with my fellow GAS sufferers, but I am happily suffering less than I used to.

Of course , there will always be incredible guitars around- and since we love them - they 'turn us on'

But ,still agreeing with SA - I am very satisfied with those I have got .Perhaps it's because of a certain natural maturity :lol:

The most important is the player !! As my old piano-teacher said - a good player can make sweet sounds out of the worst detuned pianos :lol:

My reasonable GAS -list is
#1 A P-bass
#2 Nashville tele
#3 5e3 -kit (which I think I will buy first of these

)
This is my favourite guitar , nowadays:

I guess- there are not so many digging thinlines-so not so dangerous for Mona

But I dig.
I'm changing between a couple of strats and teles , but I think ''This is the one'' for me! MIM !

Part of the reluctance is to placate Lady Armadillo.
Sample conversation:
"Do you really need another guitar?"
"Do you need any more shoes?"
"My shoes don't cost as much as your guitars."
Dang...she got me there.

I dunno, I think it would be fiscally imprudent to buy shoes instead of new gear. It’s almost foolish not to.

Let’s say you put $3,600 into a bank account, and it earned 2% a year. You could take out $220 a year and buy shoes. At the end of 20 years you’d have nothing, the bank account would be empty and the shoes would be old and worn out.

Instead you took that $3,600 and bought some really nice gear. At the end of 20 years you would nice gear that would be worth, oh, let’s say $5,000.

The only logical thing to do is always buy gear as often as you can.

But of course keeping the better half happy is always the best investment.
