I usually name my guitars after a special lady in my life at that time. Even if we break up, I consider that name to be independent of the person it was based on, so I don't change the name no matter how bad the break up. Right now though, I'm single My epiphone "slasher" as it were, was named "Cally" My Acoustic Yamaha C-310 was named "Jennifer" and my very very first guitar was named "Julianne" You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I tried to anser No on the first, second is then n/a, so is the third though I could answer "no" aswell. never ther less, you'd need a "told you I don't name guitars" option for the others questions.

Just to add a bit of chaos though the name is contextual rather then fixed for a specific guitar. Cheers, Tony You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I'm wondering: Do you guys/gals think that guitarists name their instruments because the guitar invokes feelings that the player felt towards a certain someone? QUOTE (mattacuk @ Oct 28 2007, 08:43 PM) My guitar has no name, but i might call it Jennifer Love Hewitt or something Ok ive finally lost it. Oh no my friend, you have not lost it! Jennifer Love Hewitt is gorgeous! I'm sure she would be honored to haver your guitar named after her! You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
