Post by: Guitarzan on June 27, 2007, 05:15:10 AM: I'm a bit more basic:
Strat=Strat
Washburn #1=The Blue Guitar
Schecter=The Schecter -or- The Black Guitar
Ibanez=The Ibanez -or- The Red Guitar
LTD=The Tiger Guitar
Kramer=The Purple Guitar
Washburn #2=The other Washburn

But in the long run I tend to call them all "baby" or when refering to them in the 3rd person "she" :P .

Post by: Antag on June 27, 2007, 12:58:50 PM: I used to call my Takamine NP25 "Julia" because its shape was similar to my then-girlfriend of the same name & I couldn't keep my hands off either of them :-)

None of my other guitars have names apart from what they actually are - e.g. "Korina strat", "Desert burst", "Jackson Rhoads" etc...

Title: whats your guitar called....i know youve named it!
Post by: mecca777 on June 27, 2007, 10:06:28 PM: Yes, I am also a sad guitar namer. :)

Ibanez RG670 - Bluebeard
Ibanez RG570 - Kitsune
Ibanez AS83 - Demi
Schecter Tempest Special - Honey
Schecter Ultra III - The Notorious B.I.G.S.B.Y.*

I also put "totems" inside some of my gear; for example, Bluebeard has a photo of the woman I got it from tucked in behind the trem springs, and there's an earring in the control cavity of Kitsune. Anybody else do this?

* not really :P

Post by: Sailor Charon on June 27, 2007, 10:18:05 PM: Well, yes. Although they've changed slightly...
SG (How do you type a hash on a mac keyboard?) No.1: Belldandy.
Double Six: Skuld.
Les Paul Std: Urd.

AV3: Used to be Urd, but is now Michiru
Bass: Haruka.

SG No.2: Bloodberry.
LP DC: Panther.

So, 3 Ah! My Goddess refs, 2 Sailor Moon and 2 Saber Marionette J... [Though Panther looks much better in SMJ Again and SMJ->X when she doesn't have such a silly haircut]

And now, I'm just hoping that I'm not due any more money. [I found an insurance policy had matured when I checked my bank statement came through and they hadn't charged me... I'd forgotten to change my address. (d'oh) And then there was another policy matured that I didn't know about. Then I found my old Post Office book...]

Post by: 38thBeatle on June 28, 2007, 07:50:08 PM: Oddly enough, my old Strat is called Mathew after the guy I bought it from who was a sweet gentle soul but was sadly rather too fond of heroin. My Blue start has the startlingly original name of "Bluey" and my Tele is as yet un named. My Precision bass is simply "Pressie" and my acoustics wish to remain anonymous.

Post by: FELINEGUITARS on June 28, 2007, 08:08:01 PM: I used to have names for a few of my guitars:
I have lots with BKPs in but they dont seem to have names apart from the turqoise Lion which tends to be called "My Precious"
(http://felineguitars.com/spec_sheets/guitar_images/korina%20lion%20turq/korina-lion-spec-horiz-500.jpg)

My oldest is my purple Charvel from 1986 but just gets called Charvel

My longest running guitar (from 1988/9) was called Frankie as she was a real "Frankenstein" of bits and pieces. I made the body from some dense Brazillian Mahogany and the neck was an old ESP neck- Added an original Floyd, EMGs and some Schaller tuners and she rocked. The neckplate came from the Shadow guitar factory in Germany where I was working at the time and had the serial number 000666 (so rock and roll that I had to have it!!)
Oh and scalloped from fret 13-22

I made a sister guitar to her on 1999 and she generally gets called Blondie, because of her colouring. A light swamp ash body, all access neck, maple neck with rosewood board (scalloped from fret 13-22). Floyd and Duncans - must try some BKP Crawlers in her soon.

Title: What do you call your guitar?
Post by: Tellboy on July 03, 2007, 07:00:47 PM: I call my 1964 Gibson SG 'Frankenstein' as it has got 2 bolts through its neck :) As with many of this era SGs the neck broke after I accidentally dropped it. No guitar luthiers where I lived in the 60's so a very quick 'bodged' repair of 'araldite' and a couple of bolts were used so I could play at a gig the next day :( .
P.S. I won't be asking Jonathan for a job at Feline :)
