I never have in the past, but in the 5 minutes I've had to play guitar in the last week, I've decided to name mine.

Of course:

My '57 reissue will now be known as Mike.
My HC Les Paul Custom gets the title of Stone. :D

I hope to have some pics of Mike and Stone tommorow. :)

    I've got a Peavey that I named Peaves (1st guitar I owned), pretty imaginative on my part I'd say. Oh ya and my Strat is named Dirty Sanchez.
    Her?

    Actually no its not, its an American Deluxe. I don't know why the fuck I named it Dirty Sanchez. Seemed like a good idea at the time, and the name stuck.

    I'll try to explain this in a way that makes sense. Of my two electrics, both were inspired by members of PJ having similar axes. So, in naming them, I shall use the first initial of that members first name for my guitars.

    My American Standard Fender Stratocaster, in three color sunburst, shares an initial with Mike and shall now be known as Michelle.

    My Gibson SG Special, in teal, just like Ed's, shall now be known as Erica.

    My Dean Acoustic, I have no name for.

    I wanna get some good pics, but my roomates digital camera is away somewhere.

    Anyways, this is Mike (I didn't take these, but they're from the auction) Looks better in person.

    And Stone:

    I'd like to take my head off this photo, because it looks like I'm struggling to take a dump in my pants. :)
