    well, mine is just called 'my baby'.

    is it a male or female, or havent you decided yet?


    p.s-you could just call it 'my penis extension'

    George, its the name of the person who made it for me. And its says george on the machine head in fancy writing.

    my strat is named becky for... umm... some reasons...

    and i'm not sure how i'm going to call my beautiful new electro-acoustic... either sun green or pocahontas... i purchased it just the day after i saw neil young on his recent solo acoustic tour and a good friend suggested those names...

    give your guitar a name that is special to you... and that fits the guitar...
    well...
    my best advice is: listen to your guitar! she will tell you her name... take at look at her... the shape, the colour, the tone...

    but make a wise choice... it's like naming your child... or your girlfriend - if it was possible to chose you girlfriends name ;)

    haha this thread is awesome. Anyway, I have a G&L Legacy named Betty Jean Pearl, I think it has a nice ring to it. My shitty acoustic isn't worthy of a name, hopefully I'll be getting a new one soon.

    I've got a Les Paul Goldtop, I named it Orianna. Orianna is greek for gold, and is a nifty little name so it works out.

    i know mine's a girl... but she has no name. she changes her songs with the moods... so i cant confine her with a label.

    I have 5 and they are all called "fuckers", because their right-handed guitars and I'm a left-handed bass player. Fuckers.
    SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.

    cool thread from way back when..

    there are some really cool names here...

    i never named my guitars. i have too many guitars (11) and have not been creative enough to name them. to me they are tools and i have abused them over the years. gigging and alcohol has not been that kind to them. to me naming them gives them some sort of personality and i could not imagine calling one of them the name of someone i love and then scuffing them up or abusing them somehow...

    maybe i'm just weird that way...

    actually i take that back, i have a '67 black strat that i inherited that is all beat up like clapton's "blackie" so i call it "blackie"...real original huh?? :lol::lol:

    nothing wrong with "Blackie", it's kind of classic.
    I found the thread while trying to get inspiration for naming my new one.

    My Squier Tele Custom II is Alicia. My Fender Tim Armstrong acoustic/electric is Hunny. I have an SG copy also, but it doesn't have a name.

    I'll be building a Firebird soon. I should start thinking about the name now....
