"GAS" is Guitar Acquisition Syndrome (or, sometimes, Gear Acquisition Syndrome).
There could be other variations I'm not familiar with.
Basically, you have stimulated a significant amount of Guitar Lust.

Thanks so much! I’m so glad you like it. It’s reassuring to know that others like it, as it’s been a private obsession for so long that I was afraid to show it.

Ahhh that makes so much more sense! (Try being addicted and also being the one that makes them…. 😅😅 )

This looks fantastic Simon.

I really prefer the tinted finish to the painted ones, and that color is great.

Thanks so much! To be honest with you, it was always the goal to offer the translucent finishes that show the carbon; but it was so much harder to do than I initially thought. :P

I have a few other colours in stock that i am looking forward to playing with!

Beautiful! I love that color and the design looks cool. If the acoustic and amplified tones are great I'd buy one of those. Is that one for sale?

Thanks so much!

That particular one isn't for sale yet (although it's caused quite a stir locally and I've had a lot of keen offers from people who have played it :P ) I am however working on a small batch of guitars at the moment; and will keep you guys updated on that

Also working on getting you guys some videos ASAP.

Best way to get updates and info is to subscribe to my newsletter; I generally share updates there first.

It's a really beautiful guitar, Simon. And I'm looking forward to those videos. In the early videos you posted, the guitars sounded amazingly warm. I appreciate your attention to detail.

Simon, at one time was the radius 12"? I might have written it down wrong.

Thanks Karen! Im super happy with the tone that i have managed to get out of such a small body. I've been doing extensive trials with different string brands and gauges since; it's actually shocked me the difference in sound between different manufacturers!

I will have a new newsletter going out this weekend hopefully. I've been working very hard on making the initial batch of guitars

I can do anything from 12" up to 16" at the minute. The last guitar was 14".

Personally, I think the most appropriate thing to do with it is give it as a gift to someone who taught you something. Like maybe explained what an acronym might be.

That is my completely objective, 100% unbiased opinion, of course.

Pure as the driven snow, it is.
