So who's given their guitar a name?

Care to share the story if you have?



Ron.M -> RE: Naming you guitar (Jan. 12 2009 5:25:31)

I think naming is a bad idea Ed,
It's like giving your farm animals or kids names...

Makes it more difficult to get rid of them later. [:D]

cheers,

Ron

nah, its a tool, if you give it a name that gives it emotional content, the tool is there for me to express myself not the other way around.[;)]



Exitao -> RE: Naming you guitar (Jan. 12 2009 7:57:53)

Wrong pronoun.

If I'm thinking in Spanish, I call it Linda, but I don't mean it as a name. When I think in English, I want to call it "my precious." [:D]

Ron:
That's funny. I was thinking that if I had kids, I'd probably name them after farm animals or musical instruments (depending on their looks and/or behaviours).


Henry:
There's an old Salsa (IRC) where the guy sings about a girl that "ella tiene cuerpo como guitarra, y yo la quiero tocar."

You never think about your guitar like a girl?
(I wish I had a girl as shiny and smooth, with half as many curves, je je je...)

Farm animals I agree: you eat them.
Kids you can't get rid of anyway...[;)]



Anders Eliasson -> RE: Naming you guitar (Jan. 12 2009 8:41:35)

Well, you can do like you do with boats, giving the guitar a name and a number, like Seagull III, then its easyer to sell them.[;)]

When I have a peghead with me, I call it Pegsy. It could be Peggy but thats to much Rock n Roll for me.
In this case, right now I´m playing Pegsy III

But can you talk to it with a name like that? It would sound a little harsh.

Hey Anders, didn't you have a hot pink Strat called 'Sexy'?? Or was it 'Sexy III'?



HemeolaMan -> RE: Naming you guitar (Jan. 12 2009 17:24:18)

I prefer to think of a guitar as something i keep for a while and take care of.

Ultimately they will probably live longer lol

No, I sold it because I wanted one of these cardboard guitars like the one you have.

Wrong pronoun


or wrong punctuation, as in

Naming, you #@!§ guitar!
Or just a typo[:D]

No. Rather than smashing it (which never seems to work anyway) you should drink it.
Bring out a toast to the guitar[;)]



Anders Eliasson -> RE: Naming your guitar (Jan. 13 2009 13:11:17)

Thats the way to do things. But I prefer a good redwine or a cool Piesporter.

Well, my one is cardboard, but the original Picasso is sheet metal and wire. I prefer paper cuts to sheet metal cuts [;)]

My wife sent out birth announcements when I finally got "Little Lester." Although we included a photo of the guitar, some folks actually thought that we had added another son to the family.
