HOW TO RELIEVE GAS?

[Old Music Guy]

I just bought a Gibson Les Paul Gold Top. For no reason.
I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone. Like William Shatner and the slot machine in the diner.
How does anyone stop? Or is that a pipe dream?

Gas is only temporarily ’cured’. As a matter of fact, the only thing that will stop it completely is death.
There’s always going to be that time, that just like a stray dog, a guitar will somehow just follow you home. It’s inevitable.

Mike Campbell was asked in an interview….
“How many guitars do you need”?
Mike responds…..”just one more”

Everyone should have a Goldtop. With P90's

If it makes you feel better, I just ordered a shiny new mixing console, the price of a decent new car.
I'm happy about it. I earned the money.

I used to have over 200 guitars - I didn’t see it at first - but the large collection was stressing me out - I didn’t play them all - some just sat in cases for years -
so I paired down to 6 guitars and a Jazz bass - If I can’t get what I want from those - the problem is in my head and not my guitars - pairing down cured
me of GAS - which extended into amps and effects as well - I only 4 amps now - and they are probably going away this year - I have a Helix which suits me fine
- I just don’t have the need for anything - I have a Minimalist lifestyle - and it suits me just fine.

Ya know? I understand that. I have nowhere near 200. 15 is my best guess. And I would really like to pare down to "a few". But, when it comes time to select a sacrificial one, I just can't do it.
I'm a terrible guitar player. Maybe it's imposter syndrome?

I agree. I will also say that I went through your playlist on YT. It was time well spent! Very well spent. Thank you

One of the cool things about the Gibson, is that I'm a big fan of Epiphones, I have a bunch. I'll finally get a chance to compare the Epis to a Gibson.

I thank you sir.

It was my pleasure, indeed. I had an ear to ear smile the whole time
"Wah Wah" was especially good given the topic. I enjoyed that very much.
Thank you!
