Topic: Guitar Naming
Detman101's post about his NGD made me realize that I have never named a single guitar that I've owned. Not a one.
Do most of you guys (and gals) name your instruments?

Re: Guitar Naming
All my guitars have names, but I do not name them. I treat them well, and they tell me what it is.

Re: Guitar Naming
I've only named one. Ol' Reliable. It's my old reliable Yamaha. Cheap piece of junk, but it stays in tune, sounds OK, and I take it along on all my camping escapades.
Otherwise they are known as: my Ovation, my fretless, my electric, and the Guild. But Ol' Relibale is ... Ol' Reliable. Not much more need be said, I suppose.

Re: Guitar Naming
I have never named mine either. I'm not opposed to it, just never have.

I have finally found happiness in my life. Guitars, singing, beer and camping. And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Re: Guitar Naming
Only one is named.... My early (not sure of year since its pre serial number) S&P Pro Spruce/EIR is named "Golden Boy". Named by my wife because she says it has a very beautiful tone...lol I've only got 2 brands of guitars (3 Simon & Patricks and 3 Yairi's). Well I do have a vintage Epi Jumbo but it's waiting on a neck reset when I get the time... I keep 2 guitars out at all times, one is always a Yairi in standard tuning and the other is a S&P in Taropatch tuning (open G)... So I always just say the Yairi or the S&P. I always have a Uke out as well and that is ,of course, "The Uke" lol Creative I know

Re: Guitar Naming
The Dot = Carmen, because she's big and red.
Breedlove Atlas = Joy, because... Well duh!
Stingray Bass = THUNDERSTICK!!!
Uke = Mohala ("Blossoming" in Hawaiian)
The lap steel hasn't told me her name yet. I gotta play her more. But she's pretty and sits on my lap, so it will come to me soon...

Re: Guitar Naming
I never named a guitar but I named my two fists.
I call my left one "Sudden Death" cause when it hits somebody they die.
I can't settle on a name for my right fist because when I hit somebody, they die on the way up and rot on the way down.

We pronounce it "Guf Coast".
