I blame the drug bans.
And yeah, dammit, I got a named guitar or two - The Halford Warrior. It's Fucking Metal (literally), and yet (according to Ron) ghey at the same time, just like Rob Halford.
And of course the WarAngel, but that's the actual model, since it's a Warrior with Death Angel tips. No different than the Death Kelly or War Kelly, really.
Other than that, I refer to them by their model - the Morton (rather than MM1 or Dominion), the Concert V (though I catch myself saying "Vee" instead of "five"), the JZB2 (or J.Z. for short, since it's the only one I have and thus impossible to get confused with another one, even though it sounds too close to "Jay Zee", that rap douche), the SLS Custom, the SLS3, the NASLs (but since there's four of them, I do have to refer to them by their finish, or their model numbers i.e. the J2 or 135. The 2 Cherry Burst 160s can be confusing since they're identical, so I have to state "the first 160" because it was the first one I got.), the C5P, the DX7 (mostly to remind myself it's not a DK-7), the Warrior MG-M (or just 'MGM') since it has a DK2M neck, the Montoya, the Takamine, or "the classical".
Then there's the Vantage - an FV575 that's been living in shame in the shed, covered in yellow Krylon, for about 5 years
As for Lucille, that guitar was named for a purpose: BB King was playing in a club one night when a fight broke out which set the place on fire. He ran out, then went back in for his guitar and almost got trapped inside. He later found out the 2 guys that set the place on fire were fighting over a woman named Lucille, so he named his guitar that to remind himself "next time, let the guitar burn up but get your ass out".I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood
The most human thing we can do is comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.
