my 1971 les paul is called hosannah

none of my other guitars have a name

Me les paul is called...... les paul
my Vigier my vigier.....
My aria pro 2 my.... aria.... or blue guitar.... cos it's blue.....

I'm not really good at that name giving malarky...

I call my epi lp studio Amy, cause she's no beauty, had lots of surgeries, and a lovely voice

got 2 main guitars - I call them #1 and #2

I named my SG "Beastor", and my Strat is "Stanky".

Do you name your guitars?

Personally I do.

Yes, and no.

I did name my main bass, an all black fretless Aria. It is called 'Bess' after a horse in a book.

Apart from that for whatever reason I only ever seem to name my Fenders:
Strat = (Sister) 'Celia' (What is black and green? A seasick nun...)
Pink Precision = 'PIP' (Precision in Pink)
Deluxe Jazz Bass 24 = 'Wilma' ('Cos shes a stunner. That one is a tiny bit ironic and not based on Fred Flintstones missus at all...)
'51 RI Precision Bass = 'Butter' (As in Butterscotch Blonde.)

No logic to it really, but the rest are just 'the Gibbo, 'the Gordon Smith', 'the Marleaux', 'the Dano'... The Squier CV Tele nearly got a name, but nothing quite stuck so I guess maybe it aint a real Fender after all.


Andy.

Interesting! Well I'm glad I'm not alone, but it looks like we are in the minority.

I named my PRS Lucky because of the circumstances that led me to owning that guitar, and the killer deal I got too.

I named my Strat Ali, because of a girl who was in my life at the time that I bought it. She came in and out of my life like a flash bomb, and has affected me ever since. That was two years ago.

But now I have a new guitar and I don't know what to name it, or even if I will...

Thanks for all the sympathies guys.

We should start a "name my guitar" thread!

i named my ibanez artcore "lola" because of the kinks song. I always thought it had a manly feel and voice to it but it was to pretty to be a guy. havnt named my other guitars though

Yep.. The "Green one", The "Yellow One", and "That one over there"...

my artcore is called 'the hollowbody'

I used to name my guitars, I named them up until my ESP Viper, which I tried to name but never could come up with anything that fit it. I forgot what I named my Mustang (which is broken), my Truckster is Ash(ley) but now I just call it the critter since it's such an ugly bitch now. I named my Orange after my Grandmother, since she bought it for me before she died.

My SG is Sadie
My EC-1000 is Eleanor
My tele is Mary-Louise

my Epiphone Acoustic is named Lauren after my girlfriend because she bought it for me,
my strat is called Gilmour because ive made it look like David Gilmour's strat,
my maton is called beauty and my les paul is called the beast,
and my explorer i just got is called Lucky 13 because its my 13th guitar! its even got a lucky 13 sticker on the headstock.
