I Have G.A.S.

Guitar Acquisition Syndrome

I "borrowed" this photo of the actual guitar for sale at Sweetwater Music.


I have several problems in wanting this guitar:
1. I don't have a spare $1400 to buy it.
2. It's a limited edition, so this spiffy blue one won't be around but a couple of months.
3. I want it really, really bad. (So bad that I'm willing to butcher the Queen's English even more than usual.)
4. This limited production blue model will be gone before I can save up $1400 to buy it, and this bothers me.

I know it's sinful to have lust in my heart.

I'm so ashamed.

Anybody got $1400 I can borrow?

I had a blue guitar once, and blue guitars simply sound better than other colors.

my guitar is red. If I could actually play it, I bet it would sound better than blue...alas, I don't play. Apparently I share your GAS though!

Oh, blue is very cool for a guitar. You could probably take the world by storm with a guitar that cool.

Worth the money? Maybe you'd better ask Lovely Wife.

Even if it didn't sound good, it would be worth it just because it looks SO cool!

I love blue. It's a beauty. You should hold a fund raiser, maybe even a bake sale. How are you with chocolate chip cookies.

I hope you get it.

You could sell one of your vital organs! hahahahaha Just pick one that wouldn't have a long recovery time!

I hear ya... In fact, I had a post about this same thing just last December 27 although my dream guitar was only $250, a big jump from the $80 strat copy I had. My lovely wife got tired of hearing my yearn for guitars and bought it for me, a combination of anniversary/Valentines/Birthday gift. Of course it didn't stop my G.A.S., just slowed it down a bit :)

If it helps, Sweetwater is about twenty minutes away from my house, plus I know a couple of guys who work there. I'll see if maybe one of them can sneak it out under his jacket.

Kaytlin is dying to get a new guitar. For some reason her's won't make any sound, and she recently had that fixed, too.
I bet she'd love a blue guitar, too. But she doesn't have that much money, either. She's shooting for a $400 one.

You should check out my dad's hobby. He even wrote a guest post on my blog. I'm sure he'd love a couple more comments on his first "published" writing, lol.
