do you name your guitar?

U2phan · 08-24-2005, 04:31 PM

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

http://forum.interference.com/a137617.html

any ideas?

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 · 08-25-2005, 04:43 AM

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 · 08-26-2005, 03:08 PM

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 · 09-11-2005, 05:10 PM

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 · 09-12-2005, 04:25 AM

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!

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!!

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.

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