Anyone else name their guitars?!

Paul_Cat · 03-18-2008, 03:14 PM

I'm new here

.
LesPaul Standard vintage burst.
Her name is Roxanne.

scary pete · 03-18-2008, 03:46 PM

Here are the names of mine:
"My First Guitar"
"My 7-String"
"My Les Paul"
"My Acoustic"

easy enough eh? lol, human names don't really stick for me, and that way I can talk about it and anyone who has ever just seen them know what I'm talkin about.

diceman · 03-18-2008, 04:57 PM

I haven't named any of my 20 or so guitars. I, like Pete, call them "Talman" "Elitist" "Goth" "Custom" "Eagle" "ESP" "Strat" "bass" "Casino" and so on.

I'd like to give a good human name to my Epi Elitist, as thats the only on that I even play, but nothing has come to mind that I've really liked.

Benniator · 03-18-2008, 06:13 PM

I call mine "Pubert".

gnrolik · 03-18-2008, 07:01 PM

Mine's Called *Rosie*, My guitar's named after a chick i loved, a little pathetic but ya know =P

joseaqui · 03-18-2008, 07:15 PM

I know BB King named his guitar, Lucille. I'd like to give my guitar a name, but like Diceman, there isn't one that I really like. I usually call my guitar, "My Les Paul" since it my first and only Les Paul electric guitar. Cool name though.

Hawkeye · 03-18-2008, 07:50 PM

I always named mine.

Yamaha Pacifica or "Audrey"
Epi LP STD Plus or "Julia"
A&L Wild Cherry Acoustic or "Elizabeth"

I had two Ibanez Rg270's named "Katherine" and "Sarah Jessica"
A 1962 Silvertone 1448 named "Norma Jeane"
and a Strat copy named "Loretta"

...God, I'm sick!

winiwii · 03-22-2008, 01:54 PM

I named mine "damn I need longer fingers"

5er driver · 03-22-2008, 03:32 PM

On a good day I'll call them "the black Les Paul", "the blue Strat", "the black Strat", etc. On a bad day I'll call them "POS 1", "POS 2", etc.

captainbraindamage · 03-22-2008, 06:13 PM

Termanator7 · 03-22-2008, 06:16 PM

VictorLazarus · 03-22-2008, 11:09 PM

I have used human names for a lot of mine, but I've also used the model name to name them as well...

BCRGreg · 03-23-2008, 08:50 PM
