Main Topic:
"Gear Acquisition Syndrome (G.A.S), also known as Guitar Acquisition Syndrome, is a chronic condition that affects many guitarists who play for long enough. It's the urge to buy and own instruments and equipment, even when the latest gadgets are just a click away. Musicians may believe that this will lead to creative energy and happiness, but GAS can also lead to spending money on gear that is not needed."
Our opinion? If you spend more time playing your guitar than worrying about your gear then you will be:
- A lot happier
- A lot richer $$$
- A much better guitar player
But being content does not sell guitars. Consumerism at its finest, right? Learn to love your gear!
