Help naming my guitar...

What's Hot
Afternoon all,

I would guess I'm not alone in this, but all of my guitars have names:-

Antoria Cherry Red Strat is called "Old Red" because it's old and its red - a nod to Neil Youngs Les Paul

Vintage SG copy is called "Angus" because it's Angus Youngs guitar (although not a Gibson)

Old nylon string acoustic is called "Juan Carlos" because it's Spanish.

I've just bought a Takamine G-Series cutaway semi acoustic, but I'm struggling to come up with a name for it at the moment, any sensible ideas you may come up with will be greatly appreciated.

  • I name my Strat "Eric" after Mr Clapton and my Tele "Keef" after Mr Richards. Still need a name for my Les Paul.

    If you have a favourite acoustic player maybe name it after them? Or maybe after the colour of the guitar? e.g Cherry if its a red-ish colour.

    You could name it Darwin.

    That's the name of the guinea pig in the film G-Force.

    G-force, G-Series....tenuous link.

    Call it "Sheila", or any other name you choose. 

    Then write a post about how your "Luthier" got "Sheila"  to "play like butter". 

    Then you have all my 3 most disliked guitar related sayings in one sentence. 


    Sorry, I'm in a grumpy mood today  :s

    I call our car Bob, because it says Bob on the number plate, and my name is Rob, but it could also be Bob, the plate came with the car, I always found that rather cool.
    A Deuce , a Tele and a cup of tea.

    I have a guitar called Bob (a '78 Gibson The Paul)

    I bought it used and it has B.O.B stenciled on the case.

    Names? I don't really bother. #1 #2 #3 is about as far as the naming gets.
