I had GAS imposed on me last month when I was on a golfing trip to New Jersey. You pay in dollars the same figure as we pay in UK pounds. At a conversion of $1.80 to the pound it doesn't take too much to work out that this is a "buying opportunity". I visited the wonderful Mandolin Brothers store and came out some time later with a Collings OM2H and a big silly grin all over my face. It's a delight and I reckon that if I had started with this guitar (4 years ago) I'd be at least a year or so ahead of where I am now.

cheers, Terry
