Do You Name Your Guitars?

[Sp8ctre]

If so what is your inspiration? Is it a girl, a song, something specific to the guitar? Other things?

Let's discuss...

 

[SG John]

My guitar.

That way I don't confuse them.

 

[Don O]

Purple Wurl

Purple heart fret board, pups ring, TRC and switch knob. Burl top, body by Warmoth.

 

[eSGEe]

uhm............yes.......some but not all
like THIS is the Flamingo.

and this is my PRECIOUS................


OH and of course the KRAKEN


but thtas about it -- the rest are ........what ever they are
Jazz bass........Fury----T-40 LP Jr.----Melody Maker...etc etc

 

[Don O]

Elumi

Ebony fretboard, pup rings and TRC with Alumitone pups

 

[Sp8ctre]

So I get a few of the names, but the ones that aren't obvious how did you come up with them. Why name a few and not all.

Do the names mean something to you or do you just like naming your guitars???

I've named a couple, but not all. The ones I named had some feature that compelled me to name them....

 

[Far Rider]

Of course! On the left is Monterey. Center is Woodstock. Right is Fillmore East.

 

[eSGEe]

Flamingos pink and Im in FLO RI DUH
my PRECIOUS -- is well.........OBVIOUS.......
The Kraken involved a lot of RUM

 

[eSGEe]

looking for inspiration for the name of your new vintage SG Chris?

 

[eSGEe]

I got an Idea........send it here ---and Ill call it MINE

 

[CabanaBoy]

I pretty much name all my guitars, bass', amps - lol. A name just kind of comes to me and I run with it (well, more like a fast limp, but, anyways).

Of course! On the left is Monterey. Center is Woodstock. Right is Fillmore East.

Monterey is way cool.

Little bit jealous. Nothing like a good Strat.

 

[Sp8ctre]

The Black Strat is the only one I have with a name at the moment. "Blackout", there is none Blacker...

 

[SG John]

Left to Right:

My SG, my SG, my SG, My Cipollina SG, my SG, my SG, my SG

Some of my other guitars include:

My Flying V, my Les Paul, my Les Paul, my Strat, my Strat, and others.

Leaning toward "Ruby" or "Rosie" for the SG...still looking for inspiration and I'm going to need to heal up and play her first.

Need to see if she is a whole lotta Rosie! She's small, but she may perform LARGE!

There's always "Poppy" or "Dragonfly."

My guitars get named when they are screwing me up and make me look/sound bad.
Think any derogatory swear words... it varies...

 

[jtcnj]

I think I have whiplash just from watching Angus' shenanigans.
I named a few, Black Jackie is my Jackson dinky.

Mostly I think they all should be Pandora, for unleashing this sometimes punishing obsession.
