I am also a guitar geek. GAS is a term used by guitar geeks as an acronym for "GUITAR ACQUISITION SYNDROME" I have quickly found after hanging with you guys lately I find, much to my wife's dismay. I have terrible GAS...
Gun Acquisition Syndrome: A serious illness where as an individual becomes impressed with others knowledge and ownership of firearms leaving the infected person with the desire to find and purchase said weaponry. Not to be confused with Gun Envy, but a desire for more gun knowledge and thus want to purchase them ALL!
I am surprised not to have seen more cases of GAS in this community. I sure hope I am not the only one as it is extremely contagious and I hope I have not infected the entire community.
Do not hide your afflictions. Own it and be proud. While a new purchase may calm the symptoms for some time, it usually returns.
I HAVE GAS AND I AM PROUD!
