There is an unwritten law that guitars MUST be named after a girl. It would help to pick a name if we know what guitar you want to name.

What kind of guitar is it? Color? Specs? Hard to name something good purely by guessing.

Posted by: holoshreder Jan 16 2008, 08:59 PM

OK! laugh.gif

my guitar model is an Ibanez GRG170DX-MK1
color: [color=#999900] (trying to apply the color to the letters)

(if it doesnt work) the color is a greenish beige much like a war tank

I use to call my Ibanez RG5550 guitar as SOMBRA (= Shadow in spanish)and my first guitar as SCREAM... but it's really dificult to give a name.

My guitars have female names

S470 = Ruby (it's red)
RG550 = Anastasia (a female dog of an ex girlfriend, but I thought she had a gorgeous name, and it was what sprang to mind when I picked up the guitar for the first time)
DV8-R = Lucretia (Mustaine signature, named after a deth song tongue.gif)
Gryphon = Gladys (I don't much like that guitar, and I don't much like the name, but Gladys the Gryphon seems to work).


All that said, I don't think I've ever even said their names aloud.

Don't think you should ask for help on this, but I also don't think you should name your guitar after an old Quake multiplayer map (Necropolis)

Not too original with mine I`m afraid.

My guitars are:

Jackson is just Jacky
Ibanez is Ibby
Fender is Bud (Buddy Guy sig model)
and I`ve got an OLP that I call Olly

Not sure what I`m gunna call my new guitar when it arrives tho, have to wait till I see it and see what springs to mind.

My wife thinks I`m strange when she`ll say "oh you dont play that blue one much these days" and I`ll say "what? Ibby?, nah its having a rest I`m giving Jacky an airing at the moment" laugh.gif

I only named my Jem ....

She is called "The Lady Galadriel", but we are fairly informal when we are alone together and I just call her Galadriel, or even just Glad for short smile.gif

oh man.. I think I had a guitar once that I named, but I can´t remember what. All my guitars are unnamed.. Need to think about this very carefully. Give them appropriate names. Don´t want to make any of them sad.

Posted by: The Uncreator Jan 17 2008, 10:13 PM

I dont think it necessarily has to be a girls name.

For example, my Washburn Dime V is always tuned to C and below, and i use it for Death/ Thrash/ Black metal and super heavy/ technical stuff, and that kinda thing doesnt fit as girls name.

So pick whatever you want!

Since were all adding ours, ill add mine smile.gif

Ibanez RG350MDX - Alustriel
Washburn Dimebag Signature V - Unas
Dean MS STD V - Dahlia
Jackson JS30 - Spare Parts (because it is)
Acoustic (Nameless) - Aeris

Ibanez RG 20th DY - Lovely Fast Yellow Thingy
Ibanez RG321MHRB - Boring Blue Guitar
Ibanez GRX70 - Silver Sh*t
Jackson RR5 - Stupid Painted Neck Guitar

OOh botox you got a DY RG 20th? I have a black RG 20th, care to trade? tongue.gif I wanted the DY one but when I ordered mine I couldn't get it anywhere sad.gif I would be curious to see how the maple fingerboard stacks up next to the rosewood fingerboard though.

Posted by: botoxfox Jan 18 2008, 06:38 PM

I bought my DY on impulse. I just saw that an internet dealer had one in stock, so I got it.
See it http://rg20th.com/owner.php?id=820. tongue.gif

I'm guessing it's not a good guitar. laugh.gif

@Goliath: that's weird I met a girl named Anastasia a while ago and really loved the name. I never really thought about it, but thats what I would name my 2550e. tongue.gif
