snookelputz Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Ricochet - sorry, I'm colorblind, and looking at the guitar from different angles, it looks green one way and red another. Can you tell me if my baseball thing works or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacBratt Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Of course I name all my guitars. It's easier that way. My Casino is called Cassie (huh short for Casino) and my Dot is called Maggie because she's got Seth Lover pups fitted ;-) I always thought you had to give names to things you love, especially guitars, otherwises they're just wood and metal....

But since I "Greenified" the neck pickup it should still work...sort of. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captmidnight Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Catch me when I am changing strings or setting the intonation or a dozen other small things that can go wrong...I rename mine quite often then...lol Capt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mugatu Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I call my acoustic "My Acoustic" (Simon and Patrick is a bit long winded) and my Epiphone "The Epiphone" rather than Sheraton or Sheri. If I had any more, then they'd have to get the model names... Sheraton, Emperor etc. I just asked my wife if she had a name for her Fender bass and she said I should stop being so silly... then she casually mentioned she calls it her "Baby" now and then. :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Norm Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 There is a picture from Takamine web site for my Dragonfly acoustic... Sorry...it did'nt work...I'll try later to correct it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generation zero Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Mine don't have names per se, but I do use certain nicknames to refer to them at times. The green fake Paul is "greenie", the PRS fake is "the PR isn't", the epi Paul is either "the epi" or "the $hitburst", the samick is either called by brand name, or sometimes "the less than Paul". I don't play the cream strat enough to name it, but the other strat is either the "beater" or the "burnout". I'm picking up that semi-hollow Paul tomorrow, I'll have to see what it ends up being called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyushPresley Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 I usually use their model names...and hehe I have got only one at this time. the Les Paul... I just call it "L.P.".. I have a Fina acoustic guitar and I used to call it Tweety cause it had a great tone....sounds gay ? but i used to hehe :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 There's "Goldie", "the Flametop", "The Gibson", "The Tele", "The Strat", and "The Alvarez". Past that there's no names that come to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSDx Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Typically, no ..... my AJ is known as the AJ .... howEVER, when I got my LP, my wife asked me what I was going to name it (why she would ask, I have no idea, but, anyways...) I pondered it a bit and came up with "Miss Honey" which prompted major eyerolling from both the Mrs AND the daughter.....LOL....SOOOOoooo, the name has stuck, just to pi$$ them off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carverman Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 There's "Goldie"' date=' "the Flametop", "The Gibson", "The Tele", "The Strat", and "The Alvarez". Past that there's no names that come to mind. [/quote'] Very appropriate common sense naming convention for guitars, Dave. You don't need to search for appropriate women's names like "Lucille" or "Lucy" or "Sherri"...just respect them for what they are. Now, I'm thinking of calling my big busted/bouted blonde Broadway.." Anna Nicole" in her honor. Well she may be gone and perhaps she never touched a guitar..but in her prime, she was/raised quite a stir in Pl*yboy.

Dave Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Very appropriate common sense naming convention for guitars' date=' Dave.

Anna Nicole" in her honor. Well she may be gone and perhaps she never touched a guitar..but in her prime, she was/raised quite a stir in Pl*yboy. [/quote'] I guess B.B. King started the naming of guitars for women. Everyone's probably heard the story about how someone started a fight in a bar he was playing in. They knocked over a lamp and started a fire. Everyone ran outside, including B.B., who suddenly realized his prize guitar (maybe his only one at the time) was still inside. He ran back in and grabbed it and brought it out. Afterwards someone told him the fight was over a woman named Lucille. He named the guitar after that woman since it was almost lost because of the fight over her.

larkin38 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Of all the guitars I have owned over the years, I have never named one of them. I just called them by their model name. My brother who at one time owned every Gibson bass model available only named one. His EB-1 bass. He called it Felix in honor of his favorite bass player. The late Felix Pappalardi of Mountain.
