I view naming guitars as not needed. I never have. I tried once, but their inadamant view is too strong in my mind. In other words, no i don't name my guitars.

I think naming your guitar's gives it more character. All of my guitars have names and it really helps when recording to identify between them; with that in mind here they are:

Ibanez RG570 - Twilight
Ibanez RG525 - Midnight
Ibanez USRG30 - Amber
Ibanez RG2027VV - Phoenix
Carvin DC400 - Oasis
Washburn D25 - Alexandria

My newly sold PRS Custom 24

were named "MARY"

,
And my JEM10TH listens to "BUMBLEBEE"

Some of them, but not others. My Strat's name has always been "Layla". My Firebird is "Firebird" and my Martain is....Martain. Nut none of the other 8 have names. Wait, unofficially, I've secretly called my Telecaster "Goldy". And my Ibazez I've called Blu.

Anyway you look at it though, guitars have soul. They're made from living wood, change through the years, age, and every single one is different, even if they came from the same assembly line. In contrast, with keyboards, every single electronic keyboard is the same. A Korg Karma is EXACTLY THE SAME as every other Korg Karma. That's one more reason that GUITARS RULE!!!!!!!!

i don't name most of them.

the only one i really have a name for is my bits-'n-pieces telecaster. it's changed hands a few times, has parts from all sorts of places, and is ugly as all get-out. so i call it "the littlest hobo-caster".

i even play the theme song on that guitar. anyone remember that show?

Mine have names, but some are deemed to "suggestive" by my family, and have had to be tamed down. My Squier Standard Strat is named Cherry (Cherry Sunburst) my Am Deluxe Fender Strat was named Woody for it's beautiful red stained mahogany body, but is now Red, and I am still thinking about a proper name for my new UV777BK, leading right now is Triple Seven. What do you guys think?

Someone's dug up another one of the old threads, but I feel like participating. You can pretty much guess what I named my guitar....

Mr. S · #13 07-25-2005, 09:12 PM

ive only named one of my guitars, my RG7321 after some one who means a lot to me, kind of makes playing it more intimate, but other than that i find it hard to come up with names for guitars....

Well, when you only have one guitar then coming up with a name isn't that difficult. I do have another, but it's not worth mentioning...let alone naming.
