Naming Your Guitar


folkster

Recommended Posts

I've had many different guitars in the decade i've been playing but I've never bothered to name one until now. I have a 2009 j-45 standard, her name is Carolina. Please share your guitars' names and a picture if you would like!! Enclosed is a picture of me playing Carolina!post-13976-064846000 1296448382_thumb.png

Oby, Rik, Tony, Steve, Angela are the main ones msp_biggrin.gif

Rik and Tony have never gotten on with each other though. They constantly have *****y digs at the others' expense - it stems from Rik being top dog until 2006 when Tony came to join the family.

 

Tony

"it seems i have been chosen (again) to do the recital RIK!"

 

Rik (sarcastically under breathe)

"ow yipee another 'local' recital...I prefer to do the more interesting oversees stuff Tony"

 

Tony

"that's only because he doesn't give a **** if anything happens to you that you get taken on planes, guitars like you are two a penny (sniggers)"

I never really gave my guitar names other than the 35, the tele, the 12-string and so on. Things have changed a bit. My homedrawn 12-fret from last year is called Cheyenne and the new 66 C&W had to take the name Butter due to it's deep melting tone and warm natural complexion. My two other 60ties SJ's (sunburst and cherry) might live on as Honey and Juice he he he, , , yes I see it comin'. . .

I also have:

"The Fiddle", (can you guess what that is?)

White Piano

Antique Piano

Keyboard

The Banjo

 

And when I finally find a Hummingbird, I suspect I'll call it "The Bird"

Bob, what about the dogs? Have you got them named Dog#1, Dog#2, The One With The Black Spot, The One With The Long Toenail, etc [flapper]

Yes... the dogs are named.....My SIL has cats..... the just lost #7, (old age), I don't know if there's a #8 yet...

 

By the way... I have Show Dogs...Pugs.... if any of them had a "black spot" I'd name them "gone".

Aww, sorry about #7 [crying] And if you want to get rid of any pugs with black spots, let me know [biggrin]

 

Folkster, that backdrop where you're playing looks like a cool place!

2000 J-100xtra is The Big One (sometimes, The New One).

1964 LG-1 is The Little One (sometimes, The Old One).

 

As it turns out, these are also the respective names (but not ages!) of my two human daughters.[unsure]

 

(My red/black dachsund, though, has a bona fide name: Shiner, for the color of the Texas beer...)

Yeah...and if you're naming your daughters after your guitars, be thankful you're not into "Lap Steels"!!

 

[lol]

 

And TommyK, this is for you: eusa_clap.gif

 

(Can't swing a dead cat without hitting a wise guy around here. Which is, of course, why I keep coming back!)
