do you name your guitar?

[U2phan]

I was wondering if anyone gave their guitar a good name

I was thinking about naming my acoustic "layla" until that Clapton remark about Bono

any ideas?

 

[Theedge070]

I named my Strat 'Gunther'...then I realized it was a hideous name...so as of now my Strat is nameless...as is my LP.

 

[Muad'zin]

I have 3 large Strats with large headstocks named Blondie, Tuco and Angel Eyes, a standard Strat named Mitra and a Epiphone LP called Heather.

 

[SWlondnr]

I have an acoustic I've named my Strat Jono
My semi acoustic Lou lovely little thing bit like edges epiphone
and my acoustic hmmm any suggestions?

 

[DignityPassesBy]

My guitars are walter and borris ... i dont like borris he made me bleed my own blood and nobody makes me bleed my own blood

Sally, Lorraine and Gloria. My wife calls them my mistresses.

Gunther is a cool name for a beater, maybe not your most prized axe though.

I named my electric guitar Espérance which is the feminine form of hope in French.

 

[beau2ifulday]

My Gibson Epiphone is called Bela.

Each letter stands for the name of someone in some Irish band everyone seems to like on here.

 

[U2phan]

ooh nice one, i'll name mine ABEL lol thanks for the idea

I think I gave my guitars names when I first got them, but soon forgot what they were. My guitar strap is named "Edge" though! I wrote it on there with some white out when I was thirteen, and it's still there!

That's so hardcore!

 

[Geordie Edge]

I have a Gordon smith called "Greeny" but I haven't got names for my 4 Fenders (strat, tele, 2 acoustics), 2 yamahas (semi and acoustic), Rickenbacker 330, and Gibson Explorer - showing off I know but as I play in a U2 tribute band it's hard to keep up with The Edge!!

 

[GibsonGirl]

That's so hardcore!

I contemplated for a while whether or not I should show exactly HOW dorky I am, but when moving some of my guitar gear into my new bedroom today, I just couldn't resist.

Five years of wear and tear, and it's still there.

Desire. A red guitar on fire... Or Lucile. Lucile is a good name.

 

[hltr_skltr]

[MooMoo!]

Hank.

Name it anything else and I WILL make it my business to come round to your house and castrate/spay you, depending on your personal preference...

 

[LikeNoOneBefore]

My guitar's name is Mercutio. I have a habit of giving my instruments slightly long names. My piano is named Benvolio, and I'm still deciding on what to name my new saxophone. It's down to either Amenhotep, Rameses, Anubis, Osiris, or Anok Fero. Yeah, I'm going with an Egyptian theme this time. XD

 

[Odd Sponge Out]

Heh. I have a cheap version of a stratocaster (made by Fender, though. It's called like STARcaster) that I named the Edge. Because of his REAL black one. Even though mine is red. But that could also fit the whole U2 theme too, so.

 

[steak]

I have an electric I call kelly after a girl i thought was cute when i was in the sixth grade

I have an acoustic i call shelly after another girl i thought was cute in the twelth grade
