Default Excuse my Ignorance...

Ok All,

I have to ask as I'm a newer member of the forum. What does the acronym GAS stand for. Sorry for my ignorance.

Yea, visiting the AGF and reading (and seeing) the wonderful guitars makes you want to get something new ... again and again and again.

Acronyms can be confusing and potentially dangerous.

Back when I was attempting to learn the Great Highland Bagpipes (GHB), I subscribed to a forum devoted to them. One day, a new poster asked us how to make GHB (gamma hydroxybutyrate - the date rape drug). The forum administrators reported him to authorities.

You shouldn't have asked. It gets worse when you know what it is.
