What are you GAS'ing for at the moment ?

WOW! My brain is having trouble with this top being an actual piece of wood!

a 60 euro guitar set up for a guitar I barely use. It's not the 60 euro as much as it that I play it almost never. There is a buzz on the G string (typical Strat stuff).
 
Sheesh, this thread needs some life. Can't believe I'm one of the few that love guitars so much that they get random GAS.

In my case, I've been st00p1d and read too much about the EBMM Kaizen, and it's either a guitar that damn near everyone that tries, LOVES, or some really slick underground marketing campaign.

Of course it comes in 6 and 7's these days, and a bunch of colors - which adds another stage of complicated decision making.

Generally thinking I don't want a chrome trem and pickup covers, matte black is more my thang.

But, something about this "Gallium" finish is grabbing me. Even with the chrome trem/pickups, I think the overall "random" finish, and some general wipe downs, will keep smudges in check. They use actual silver in the finish, allowing it to oxidize before they clear coat it! Each one is unique, and there aren't many left (special GAS inducing run). It's from a store about 2 hours away that I've bought a couple from.

Here's some others of interest.

Good old matte white that supposedly goes a bit gray in darker lighting.

Another limited run in "Spectraflare". It is semi-chameleon, and will supposedly capture any offending lighting, focusing to a killer "laser" back to the offender. It's a used one.

And lastly, an "Ember Burst". Note the weight! :satan That alone should make it interesting, no?

I'd like a different amp, but not sure what to get if anything. The Orange Rocker 15 + 1x12 doesn't really do what I want at all outside of being able to dial the volume down. So not sure if something like a Vox AC15 would be a cool pick or something more modern with a different cab, or what.

#oldmangifgoeshere. I love these guitars but I wish 100000% they came with traditional frets vs. the fanned frets.

Everyone missed the weight of the Ember one :bonk

Regardless, that damn Gallium one is winning in my head. Idk, lol.

And @JiveTurkey - I have 2 fanned frets, and love them - more so on the 7 vs the 6. The Kaizen's fan is probably the least extreme I've ever seen, too.
 
Temptation #1 - one of the new Orange "Baby" amps, like the Dual Baby. I'd love to be able to get an "edge of breakup" clean and then a higher gain clean, all solid state, no tubes, etc. Plus a flat class A/B power amp for modelers as an option. Would work great with my 1x12 although that may be a source for my tonal disappointment.

Temptation #2 - Friedman JJ Junior. There's one local but he doesn't want to trade. It's been my "dream" amp for a while, although not sure how great it would be at low volumes.
