Don't leave home without it!

GAS (gear acquisition syndrome) was one I couldn't figure out for a long time. But I didn't want to look too dumb, so I never asked but figured it out after a while.

Right, right. Ok gentlemen, I really appreciate the explanations. I am accustomed to having GAS. I have known about that one a long time, and it just never seems to go away. It is constant. Good thing it doesn't have an odor like the other one, for I would have no friends!

We've all had GAS, at one time or another. That's why we have no $money$!!!!

I've not heard anyone mention MIA (Made In America)

or IMO (In My Opinion)

or GMD (Guitar Modification Disorder)

I know man. After I pay the bills, the food, the vehicular gas, and make the family happy, my little side pocket money, which is reserved for GAS, is never enough. But there are times when I let my GAS money build up, especially when I have my eye on something.

I know the feeling. Been saving mine up and I'm now hunting for a good Tele, to go with my Strat.

Hey I just realized I suffer from a bad combo of GMD and UFPS (Unfinished Project Syndrome)

Ohhh -- that's a BAD combination. Hope it's not contagious!!
