Mas? how about was?

[bulldog]

Yeah, sure. Ive read about (and fully understand) MAS, but how about "WAS"? "Wood Acquisition Syndrome". Ive recently started to "attempt" building. First from a StewMac kit, and now from scratch (with both currently "in progress"). And now..... I search out, and then buy woods for future builds. Curly, Quilted, Sitka, Engelman, Adirondack, wood for sides, wood for necks, I have it all. And still, I search for more at bargain prices. Web sites, Ebay (done well there) etc. I believe Ive now reached the saturation point. But does anyone else suffer from this malady? #Is it a normal part of the process? Should I seek counseling?

In my haze I failed to realize that this should have been posted in the builders section. Please move if need be, or not.

Not a cure (as if one was necessary) but perhaps a little tonic to go with the gin:

MAS can sometimes be treated succesfully with a quilted Ellis F5, there is no cure for WAS once you've started down that aisle. "He who dies with the most wood, is still dead- quick, check todays luthier obits!"

He who dies with the most wood, is still dead
Suddenly the world makes sense.

He who dies with the most wood, is still dead
At least his shop assistant can build him a nice coffin!

Im beginning to feel better.

Now I can see how Old Wave can make 6 or 7 at a time.
