Big Love for the names y'all give your guitars

TheJacket · December 5th, 2007, 06:39 AM

I'm loving the names y'all are giving your guitars, not the girl names or whatever, but the take-offs on "Telecaster" ---

Melon-Caster
Pine-Caster
Kitchen-Caster
Tele-Screamer
My own Installment-Caster

Shout out what you call yours! How about Castor Oil?

I call my Janis, after Janis Joplin, cause she screams like her!

I've got a black AmStd with a rosewood board I call Jinx(it just fits), and a 3 tone burst Nashville I call Maebell(Mother that is).

This one is Brownie:

This one is Blondie:

This one is Violet (tuners used to be that color, have scratched most of it off, as they are chrome under), though it also gets referred to as a "Frankentele."

The only names I'm doing are on some multiples of the same model; they're named after the community where they were bought. Clearwater, Orlando, Tallahassee, Harahan and Baton Rouge. Individual guitars with no twin don't need names.

And I print the serial numbers of the necks onto the heels when I sand off all the imaging on the front and back of the donor neck headstock.

I put the pickup change info on a sticky paper square on back the neckplate, together with string size and install date.

Well, at least nobody has named their guitar case yet, that would be a bit too...

A friend of mine is the second owner of a white blonde '57 Tele he named Marilyn.

His everyday player is an early 70s yellowed blonde with a five hole reissue blackguard, a few mismatched parts, mystery pickups....named Madonna, because it's a trashier, perhaps faker version of Marilyn

My first name is Tee, so eventually I will put together a TEE-lecaster.

All my current Teles have nicknames based on the stickers I put on them.

I call my tele Elvis.
My friends call it Twang
My wife calls it "that blue guitar"

bigou · December 6th, 2007, 07:33 AM

I put an ahstray bridge cover to add to the "mirror" effect!!!

Trimac20 · December 6th, 2007, 07:34 AM

I plan to call my turquoise coloured Tele the 'T-Machine' - The Turquoise Telecaster Tone Machine, which sounds kind of lame, but I've got to make it (and me) sound important haven't I? lol

Or would 'Mr. T' be any better?

Mines either the zerocaster as there is no logo at all on the head or the Cash-Caster (cos I got it once piece at a time)
