With our 2, anything they ate was a bonus!
That said I don’t have any names for mine, except my 56 Special, which is 56 special , she’s a real beaut mate
Are you accusing people of misgendering?
My white strat has a back cat sticker on it so it’s known as the black cat strat however since the cat pictured in my avatar died I’ve sort of half named it after him in remembrance.
The others are known as ‘the black gretsch’, ‘the other keef-esque tele’, ‘the acoustic’, ‘the one I bought instead of getting the front of my car fixed’ etc.
It is Lake Placid Blue is known as Old Blue..
The Sunburst Classic..Old 1960 style Les Paul Classic in lightburst..
Stock Pick up,Satin Finished economy Gibson..Complete Tone Monster..
Something that was cheap but good is the Wee 70s Tribute..Les Paul 70s Tribute with changed Pickups..
I guess there is less wood there,so it's called the Wee,,never analysed that till now though..
Petunia also gets called the Wee Junior..
Most of my Electric Guitars have changed pick ups....
So most of the names are shortened ways of naming them if I have more than one Tele say.,
or affectionate names...
I do Love some of them though and if I lost those I would be devastated..
Sometimes you pick up a guitar and you know it is a really good one right from the start....
You spend a lot of time with your guitars,so there is that attachment..
I tend to take mine out of the cases when using them as I have a dehumidifier in the room they are in.
.I actually lost one because of humidity and nearly lost others..
I remember and get excited at what good guitars they are when they get into my hands,,I feel so lucky to own them..S
ome I am more luke warm about,,they serve a purpose....
You get Good Strats,you get decent Strats,You get OK Strats say..
You of course get Amazing ones too..My Mexican Classic ,Tone and Feel wise kills A USA Standard Strat I have..
Old Blue is in many ways now a mongrel though,,refretted with a 9.5 camber etc..
I have some guitars that play so well for me,I treasure them more than the expensive ones..
I wouldn't swap them for 4 times what they are worth,maybe not at all,,a good guitar is a good guitar..
That means more than how high it is in the line or it's financial value..
My Les Paul Standard is good,but my Les Paul Classic which was cheaper is outstanding..
Changed Pickups again on both..
So is that 70s Tribute..Those special guitars if I lost them or had to let go would devastate me..
So you get Amazing,Good,Luke Warm and then duffers of the same model,,regardless of price..
Every Guitar is different,,even ones that are only divided by one serial number..
So often the coolest looking only get as far as the luke warm category,or Lower in the case of a Gretsch I owned...
So yes,,I do love some of my guitars..
They are much more lovable than plenty of Human Beings,in fact they can act as an antidote to many Human Beings..
Some I am a bit more careful with than others,some have a fair old bit of playing wear and are even better for it..
I can understand people naming guitars I suppose if they are special ones..
I know they are just bits of wood,but the plainest bit of wood can end up being a really special guitar..
There seems to be an element of chance as to how a guitar turns out..
They are what they are..
The flashest looking can often be real duffers..
Just my experience. of course..
