Pin Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I am sure this thread will have been done before umpteen times although I can't remember having seen it. I know some of you do name your guitars but I have never felt the need or desire at all. I just call mine for what they are: e.g. 25 / 50; ES345 etc etc. What about you?

Dennis G Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I am sure this thread will have been done before umpteen times although I can't remember having seen it. Similar thread on the MLP forum a few weeks back. As for naming my guitars, yeah. The Strat, The Casino, The Dot, The Tele, well, you get the idea.

Ceptorman Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I don't name them either....just call them acoustic, black one, red one, new one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedzep Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I'd never name any inanimate object, but if I named my guitars they'd be called 'Mortgage Payment', or 'Dental Work', or 'Snow Tires'. Something along those lines. Looking at a '58 0-18 on Ebay that would be named 'Are You Out of Your Freekin' Mind', if I buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 No. Never occurred to me to put names to them. If a band member asks which guitars I am bringing to a gig, I'll say, "The Tele", or "my Les Paul", etc. Or, "the blue Ibanez", or "my Martin 12-string". Our girl singer suggested a name for my newer Stratocaster, but it just didn't feel right, (The Hombre, of all things), so I politely never mentioned it again. :mellow: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevDavidLee Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Yes but just a few. To name all of them I would need a venn diagram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Never. I don't name any of my amps either, or my tools, or cars, or bikes, or surfboards... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karloff Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I never did for decades. But I started doing that 10 years ago. But only a few of them. I name my Boxers after old horror stars. And I've named a few guitars after my dogs. Boris, Elsa & Bela. the others I just call them what they are. and to be honest, I rarely even refer to those 3 as the names I've mentioned. But I named them just the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelT Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Nope. I tried it once but they would never come to me when I called. :) My wife has taken calling my Goldtop, "Goldtoppy" and my '81 V "The Baby." I just use their description. White V, Brown V, Goldtop, Standard, Strat, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinch Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Kind of. My Epi LP is called "Goddamn, ProBuckers really do sound great - can't believe how much it sounds like a Gibson, but why oh why the crappy fret wire? Oh well", and my Gibson Flying V is called "The grenadillo looks great now that it's oiled, and the Dirty Fingers really are outstanding... So much warmth AND definition for such a high-out humbucker - awesome!". Or Epi LP and Gibson Flying V for short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
