Seems to me GAS is nuanced by the type of musical instrument acquired. The syndrome may be less severe with piano and harp players than it is with guitar, and electric bass players. Although, it may extend to excessive acquisitions of sheet music and books on musical theory.
Single kit exceptions may include drummers and xylophone players.
This syndrome is very evident in high-performance vehicle markets where there seems to be no end to the modifications one can make to go faster, sound louder, or look cooler.

- giobox 2y agoMy experience with guitar collectors is that is often easier to collector guitars than practice and get good at the instrument, and I include myself in this statement. The guitar is so accessible and available at retail so widely, its not surprising to me it attracts collectors perhaps more so than a harp or a piano. Plus the guitar has a very strong connection to modern pop music, which surely helps drive its appeal.
