What is up with naming guitars?????

[lerxstcat]

I named my SG Shirley Gene to flatter my girlfriend who was named Shirley Jean back in 1976. They're both gone now. I don't feel the need to name my guitars but I don't have an aneurysm because others do. The guitars belong to them and they can do what they want with therm.

Getting bent because someone else has a name for their guitars is a little strange since it's none of your business whatsoever. Get over it before you prompt everyone you know to name their guitars just to show you.

hell i used to talk to my guitars all the time. were hard street narcotics involved? why yes.
thus the behavior, but, the great thing about guitars is that they can't hurt you, unless you
hit yourself in the forehead with one.
tonemonster, please send me some pics of your axes so i can name some of them for you-lol
you should definitely name your favorite one "kip" since you're such a winger fan-lol lol lol

a couple of my 17 guitars have names. my holoflake jackson is called "the sparkle" and my new epi LP is called "ruby slippers" in honor of what a jcf'er said in the "look at my new guitar" post. other than that, they are usally called something to do with the color/type of guitar. like, my sunburst strat is called "the brown strat" and my solar PC1 is called "the orange jackson".

i had a replica of EVH's black and white striped starbody with the dan electro headstock made, only mine had a reverse
strat head on it. her name was deathstar dartha van vader. again, were hard street narcotics involved?
why yes-lol

I think certain guitars are worthy of having a name, especially if that guitar brings you real joy. Mine is a 1991 EBMM Steve Morse, it is the most incredible guitar I have ever touched...and it really is one of my closest friends. I have had more intimate moments with that guitar than I had with my ex wife lol. I played my babies to sleep with it, serenaded chicks into delicious wet snatch puddles with it, consoled myself during loss with it, and used that hunk of wire and wood to get me through some tough times. So many of my finest memories invole that guitar either being in my hand or near me. Its name is Steve and it's going in the ground with me when my number is called.

I'm going to watch Magnum P.I., Steve in one hand, my dong in the other and think about this thread for a while.

I dont get this shit. why the fuck people name shit. especially guitars. why the fuck would you name a guitar? it just screams I am a big fucking stupid geek who thinks I am cooler for naming my guitar when in fact I am just a big fucking stupid geek that watches star treck and wacks off after every episode. seriously people. why do you do this?

get off the naming kick.

naming inanimate objects is just weird. I have never named a guitar. I havent named an amplifier either. I just call my guiars something like "that blue one" or "the red one" or "the one with the chick paintjob" or the "crackle finish one" or "the amber flame one" . this is practical. it makes sense.

I mean really folks, giving your guitar some rediculous name like "Punisher" or "inflictor" or "accelerator" or "speedster" is just out there. I mean why do you screw around with those names and just get it over with and call it "The bad ass" ????? I dont get it.

I named my SL1 ToneMonster, after a character on Star Trek. It's also Swahili for "male virgin." What's the big deal?

DMT = Dumb Motherfukkin' Thread



I'm just messing with you, tonemonster! I had a 1990 Jackson Soloist Pro that the previous owner named "Ms. Pearl." I kept that name for her, she was a beautiful pearl white bitch.

[tonemonster]

I think I am going to re think this whole concept of naming guitars and name each one of mine after a star trak character. somone else had that idea here, so I am not taking credit for it, but damn thats cool.

I just need to get a Dean with teh V headstock to name it Mr. Spoke.

What is DMT?

Dimethyltryptamine, supposedly the heaviest psychedelic there is. Funny thing is, our body produces it and it's illegal, shenanigans I say. People see craziest life changing stuff on it, aliens, near death experiences, reincarnation, monomyth and other things of that magnitude.
So I guess when you're groovin' on a guitar and take one hitter of DMT you will reincarnate, your spirit becomes one with the guitar.

But it's all based on what other cats have told me, you know how I am, I'm trippin' 24/7 without any help anyway so maybe it would have an reverse effect on me and makes me normal and we wouldn't want that to happen don't we?

I've heard that you will experience all that stuff in less than an hour without drugs just by hanging out with Tommy.
