Well since mine are both Les Pauls it makes sense to use the brand name :P

No, no names.  Just "the green SG-X" and similar, as others have said.

My dad used to call our old Ford Cortina "Gertie".  Maybe I should give my guitars really dull names like Colin and Reg.
BKPs I've Got:  RR, BKP-91, ITs, VHII, CS set, Emeralds

My amp has been christened the Tiny Toaster. Gotta love tiny terrors.

Oh and my car is called Boris. No reason, first name that came to mind. I recently got a snail for our fish tank, it needs a name... Something asexual as the blighter is a hermaphrodite.

Gertie :lol: My mate has really typical predictable and cheesy names for his guitars. The LP is called Paula, his Ibanez Izzie and the Fender he used to have was Florence :lol: :lol:

It strikes me that the Orange Tiny Terror was exactly the sort of thing Nigel Tufnel needed that time backstage in Boston...

Perhaps you could call the snail James-May as it's a collection of both a male and female name making it a hermaphrodite itself.

I call my Maverick 'The Mongrel' as its a mish-mash of various Maverick models and with replacement pups.
I too use chicken as a measurement.

Mine are:
main Strat is named Mathew after the guy I bought it from
Tele is Mexican and I have referred to it as Conchita
Blue Strat is very cleverly named "Bluey"
My Precision bass is rather cunningly called "Pressie"

Jackson KE-3 - 'Tito'

Gibson Explorer - 'the Beast'. I love this guitar. I sold it, and bought it back. It just does everything for me, its been dropped, thrown about and the wiring needs redoing and it needs a new birdge but I LOVE IT!!!

Epiphone SG Custom - 'the Viking Skull guitar' this is still in pieces but I vow to get it fixed up when I have some spare change. I got it given to me for my 20th birthday from Darren (ex Viking Skull guitarist/ex Raging Speedhorn bassist) who is a good mate of mine.

Marshall JCM800 - 'The King'. Named after Elvis, it wipes the floor with any of my mates amps (or so I like to think) and I couldnt ask for a more versitile amp.

LAG Acoustic - 'Coustic' coz I'm lazy.
GREAT GOOGILY MOOGILY!
