I haven't seen this one in a while so here goes.

Do you have any names for your guitars? I don't only because we each name I think of I foolishly connect it to something that I don't like, so I do not use it.

What are yours?

I call my Squier 51 "Earl." My Ibanez is Blackie (stolen from Clapton) My Seagull, oddly enough, makes me feel like I'm Bob Dylan...but it has no name at the moment.

My Ibanez RG is affectionately know as 'my baby'. Sometime I feel like we're dating: enfatuation, fights, and all :) !

I've named two of mine after two of my musical heroes, although I don't really refer to them by those names.

My first is really grungy - short scale, sounds good even when it's taking a real beating - so that's Kurt.

My second is Slash, although it's not really that slash-like until it's through a Marshall stack set to all 10s (and I only managed that once in a studio - awesome sound, but man did that hurt :D)

I only have a name for my '73 Strat.

"Mi Amigo" just because we've been through so
much together in the last 33 years.

I was thinking of naming my acoutic "Dee" because it does spend the majority of its time in open D tuing, that I use for songwriting. Problem is I have an aunt and a cousin we call Dee.

You are right 8) but it's a lot of fun:

My Washburn acoustic is "Bear"
My Yamaha acoustic-electric 12 string is "Sparky"
My red Squier Series 24 electric is "Bloodsport"

later,
