I guess it's the oldest Rock N Roll guitar thing, naming your guitar. Clapton has "Blackie", BB King has Lucille, Albert King has "Lucy", Roy Buchanan had "Nancy" And Steve Vay has "Evo" and "Flo"
So do you guys have names for your guitars? In My own case yes, I do name my guitars.
On top: My 1986 Fender USA stratocaster "Shelby" Not to difficult why I named it that way. I'm a big fan of mucle cars and racing stripes. I replaced the neck it has in the picture with a genuine Fender neck, I still need to add a white stripe in the middle to finish it off.
Below: My 1989 Squier Stratocaster "The Veteran" named because I have had it for 17 years and couting using it in every single band I have been in, it survived everything I threw at it and came back for more.
On top: My 1998 Squier Affinity Tele "Striper" very obvious why I named my extremely modified Squier Tele that way.
Below: My brand new Squier Standard Telecaster "Veteran's tele" like my Red Strat, this tele copes with everything I throw at it and keeps coming back for more
"The Goblin" this self made guitar always evokes images of fairy tale figures to me, it wouldn't look bad in the hands of Harry Potter and so I gave it a fairy tale like name.
My ESP Horizon "She Hulk" this guitar is a powerhouse, one of the few that didn't need any modifications to suit my needs. It has the sexy curves and the carved top makes it look like well groomed muscle mass, the color was the deciding factor on what name I ended up giving it.
Futher guitars I own with names are my self built SG-tele hybrid "Fido" because of a 7up button with Fido Dido I glued onto the headstock and "Dent" which is a black Squier stratocaster from the same year as "The Veteran", I bought it from a punk player who used to toss it around quite a lot which earned it it's name.
