Guitar & Bass names

[Collin Bass]

My wife thinks I'm nuts for naming all of my guitars. Tell me I'm not the only one!!


My current lineup:

Grace, too - Traditional '60s Precision
Carol - Traditional '50s SC Precision with Flats
Scarlett - Red Lado Neck Through Bass
Penny - JV Modified '60s Custom Tele
Juanita - Cabronita Tele
Estelle - Takamine Acoustic


Previous guitars:

Grace II - MIM Special Edition PJ Precision
Grace - Starcaster Bass
Frankie - Tony Franklin parts Frankenbass
Yasmine Bleeth - Hofner Veryrhin Guitar
Gretchen - Gretsch Electromatic guitar
Falcor - Squier VM Jazzmaster
Vickie - Airline Map Bass
Wendy - Garrison Acoustic
Eleanor - Lado Amberburst guitar
Augustus - Cello


But I've also named some of my cars:

Suki - Honda Ridgeline
Prudence Cordelia Kensington III - Mazda 6
Sadie - Acura Integra


And a couple other things:

Lucille - Pool Cue
Clancy - First grey chest hair
Mjölnir - Throwing Axe
Benny and the Jets - my uh, junk. Lol


My favorite guitar that I've named, btw, was Wendy. I named my guitar after my friend because they both were blonde, both made in Newfoundland, the grain on the back looked like Ws, and they both had a wider bottom. Lol


What are some of your guys'/gals' guitar names?

 

[Killing Floor]

I’m on your wife’s side

That’s kinda kookoo for Cocoa Puffs.

[Michedelic]

Calling an instrument(or anything, really)by a name(other than brand or model)is just lame, creepy if female.

 

[Ostie]

My Jack Casady bass is “Jack”. My Allen Woody bass is “Woody”. Pretty inventive, eh?

Sooner or later, over these years they all somehow wound up with the same name:

'This SOB is making me crazy!'

 

[GodsLove66]

Yes!!!!
Names of all the basses I deemed name worthy, both of current ownership, or past as well.

2. Epiphone Viola: Duchess
3. White Fender Dimension with Blackguard: Pauline (after Paul Simonon)

Sorry, I don't rename inanimate things using their brand name when there is a choice of one or more. Like my Prius or Volkswagen or Fender Jazz or Rickenbacker. Other wise what it is car, bass, amp.

No, I don't think you are nuts and I know lots of folks that name their gear.

[vvvmmm]

I haven't even named my kids yet and they are both in their 20's.

 

[Smooth_bass88]

Yeah mine are called “white lakland”, “sunburst Precision” “sixty-two jazz” “black fretless” etc.

 

[Matt O]

There’s a certain Elton John song that I’ll no longer be able to listen to.

Never cared for it too much, so not a big loss I guess.

 

[JRA]

for many/most of my years, it was just, "my ax." lately i have more of them, so it's the color + model, e.g.,
- blonde P
- red P
- black J
- blue PJ

all i got. don't have pet names for tools (they're nice, but they're a "what," not a "who").

...although i knew a pair of plyers and an adjustable wrench in my last neighborhood as "steve and diane." nice couple, but we weren't close.

 

[BGroovy]

I don’t usually name my basses but my wife named my most recent purchase “Ghost”

 

[Jhalb]

I owned a 1970s Gibson EB3L named Agnus. Haven’t named a bass after that.

 

[Topkat13]

I named my bass Bung Hole cause it’s funky as hay-ull.

 

[pcake]

it doesn't matter if/what you name them - they can't come when you call.

mine are called "the jazz", "the mezzo", "the green mikro", "the mikro jazz" (mikro with jazz pickups), and so on. my current bronco is called "the bronco", but it used to be "the black bronco" till i sold the red bronco.

 

[bassicmike]

The red one, the blue one, the back-up.

 

[G On Bass]

I name mine as well!
I have:
The Red one
The Brown one
The Blue one
The Fretless
